Daniel Bond

Lecturer

Digital, Tech, Innovation & Business

Since starting at Staffordshire University in early 2021 I've taught on a range of modules covering a variety of skills including game design and level design. Throughout this time, I've gained experience in and honed my abilities as an educator, creating and delivering class content, both in person and online. Alongside my responsibilities as a lecturer, I aim to expand student opportunities both during their time at university with hosted game jams and the Game Development Department's 1UP placement scheme, as well as through external partnerships like with that of the UK Games Fund's Tranzfuser graduate studio funding scheme.
