Business Enquiries: Creator@Shadowheim.com
I've been playing games for as long as i can remember. Many of my favourite childhood memories are playing video games with my mother as well as table top games with my grandmother who in 2024 turned 101 years of age.
With a background in hospitality i have worked in many unique kitchens around Australia. From Immigration, military, fine dining to even a food truck inside of a drag queen show bar!
In the time that i have been creating content I have worked along side Feardemic, showcasing games and working with them to create content for Fear Fest Horror Game Awards.
We have come together as a community to raise money for wildlife conservation charities as well as local animal shelters.
We have shown people exciting new ways to get excited in the kitchen, showcasing the ease of Hello Fresh and even worked with PAX Australia and Dreamhack Australia, to create content and media coverage highlighting leading technology from the newest computer specs being released to cutting edge microphones used in industries world wide.
We have made so many friends along the way and here is to many more journies to be shared.
About Me
I thrive to always make a difference in everything I do. From bringing joy and happiness through sharing experiences with others to just hanging out with friends.
This journey of 'Content Creation' has meant more than a career for myself, it's also been an absolute journey of personal growth. During the height of the Covid-19 lockdowns it was so isolating being stuck at home for months on end but i found solace in cooking and gaming, furthermore in doing these things that bring me the most joy with so many people from so many diverse groups from around the world.
With a firm stance on inclusiveness and compassion for all our community members around the world.
this is a safe place for everyone, always. You are loved and you are important.
Other Content
Besides creating live and short-form content around cooking, cosplay and gaming, i love to bring to life much of the equipment that i use to make my visions a reality.
From teaching how to save money at home in the kitchen, to ensuring everyone is drinking their electrolytes and raising money for animals in need and of course, showing the beauty of the tools that make everything happen!
