Claire Morwood
Indie Developer & Artist
Claire is a self-taught game designer, programmer, artist and musician. In early 2025 she released Asterism, an interactive music album video game set in space, which was developed with funding from Creative Scotland.
Prior to this she worked on BAFTA-nominated Before I Forget with her company 3-Fold Games, a narrative exploration about a woman, Sunita, living with early-onset dementia, in which the player learns about Sunita's life by interacting with objects throughout her house and seeing her thoughts and memories that relate to them.
Claire has spoken and exhibited work at UK and international events such as A MAZE Berlin, Aesthetica Short Film Festival, and the Leftfield Collection at EGX.
Claire is also interested in games as a medium for creative personal expression, and is fascinated by game development tools such as Bitsy, which provide accessible ways for people with no previous game development experience to make and share their games.
