HI! I'M ALEX
I'm a quiz writer, game designer, and stand-up comedian.
I've got some stuff to show you!
QUIZ
Growing up in a household with a daily routine centred around The Weakest Link, I was always destined to be a know-it-all sort of child. Luckily, I have now found a way to monetise this personality flaw, and now I write quiz questions for a living!Only Connect | Genius Game | The Finish Line | Bridge of Lies | The Wheel | Lightning

Games
I've been designing digital games on-and-off for the past several years, and have been making board games from scrap cardboard since I was a child! I've self-published a few card games, and made a few digital prototypes available online. All made with love, and occasionally a bit broken.
PUZZLES
I've taken up cryptic puzzle design recently, having written previously for a begrudging university newspaper. My puzzles are what I would describe as cryptic-ish, somewhere between the realms of fiendish and ridiculous. You can see some of my current attempts in this Twitter thread, as I attempt to write a puzzle every month in 2022.
OTHER STUFF
I perform stand-up as the ever vibrant and verbose comedy queen, Céilí Rae Minogue
I write for Hard Drive
Some lovely podcasts that had me as a guest:
