In 2023, Ayo obtained a highly coveted role with Playground Games, the renowned creators of the Fable franchise. Currently, he holds the position of Associate Technical Game Designer within the company.

Previous to that role, he completed a degree in Computer Science with Games Technology at City, University of London, where he achieved First Class honours. This was shortly followed up with a Game Design internship at Natural Motion, which ended in 2022.  

Between roles, Into Games supported Ayo with his visibility, as well as providing key additional training via our Sprints programme. 

“Into Games was very helpful during my job search. I was lucky enough to be named part of the IG50 in 2023, which was a massive boost to my confidence at a difficult time in my unemployment and gave me access to a very useful portfolio and CV review. I think the changes I made to my CV based on this had a massive impact on the interviews I was able to land afterwards."

"As a result of being in IG50, I was also able to go to WASD Live 2023 for free, which let me attend some extremely valuable talks. I was also given a place on the very first Level Design Sprint, which built up skills in an area of design I struggled with and left me with more confidence working on 3D games.”
