I've
worked in the games industry for twenty three years, recently holding a position as creative manager for an independent
game development studio.
I have worked within many aspects of
game development, beginning as a freelance programmer, coding
games for the Commodore 64 and Amiga 500. When game development became a team effort, I turned
my attention to my true passions, art and game design. After many successful
developments, I became Creative Director at Virgin Interactive
in London UK where I spent five years working on various projects.
I worked at Westwood Studios in Las Vegas on Disney’s ‘The
Lion King’ and ‘Pinocchio’. I have also been
involved in setting up two successful development studios and
creating products for many of the top publishers for global publication.
I still work in the games industry and although it's a very different industry today, with very different challenges, I love it as much now as I did then and I would highly reccomend it as a career.
