Hi, I'm Shawny!

Community & Social Media Strategist | Writer | Accessibility Consultant

About Me

I help brands build communities people actually want to be part of — and create content that gets attention for the right reasons. Whether you need a campaign strategist, community guide, or just someone who can fix your “what do we even post this week?” panic, I’m here for it.

I’ve been officially working in the games and tech industry since 2021, but I’ve been building communities, running digital campaigns, and wrangling content chaos since 2013. Over the years, I’ve worked with game studios, tech platforms, creative teams, small business, large brands, and indie founders to create real connection online — with strategy, story, and a little bit of scrappy magic.

What I Do

Community Management
From Discords to devlogs. I build strong, engaged communities.
Social Media Strategy
Platform voice, content planning, and consistency without the chaos.
Copywriting & Content
Punchy posts, clear messaging, and messaging that connects.
Accessibility Consulting - Games & Events
Accessible by design, inclusive by default.

Beyond The Work

I volunteer with Blind Burners, a CIC supporting Blind and Visually Impaired folks. Our pilot programme supports blind and visually impaired game devs and aspiring game devs at in-person industry events by partnering them with sighted guides to make the conferences accessible. I’ve been a guide at events for 3 years now, and I also support with their community, marketing, and organising efforts.

Outside of that? I’m a writer with a love for sci-fi, fantasy, and narrative games. I’m currently working on some personal projects including a narrative-driven mystery game about ADHD, and my debut fantasy novel.

Let's Work Together

I’m currently open to freelance and contract work in:

Social media strategy
Community management
Communications & content writing

While I specialise in games and tech, I also love working with creative small businesses, charities, and indie teams — anyone doing thoughtful work who wants to connect with their audience in a real way.
