About

I’m a Creative Technologist with 30 years’ experience designing and delivering VR/AR/MR and web-based interactive experiences for global brands. I’ve worked across environments from agencies and in-house teams to freelance setups, helping teams turn ambitious ideas into engaging, reliable real-world experiences.

I’m hands-on with Unity, WebXR, and AI-assisted development (with tools like Claude and Copilot) and I also bring a strong technical and hardware background, including DMX/Art-Net, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi. I’ve led scoping, costing, and delivery of client projects, and I’ve earned BAFTA and BIMA recognition for innovation—most recently supporting technical delivery and research for new client hardware and immersive initiatives.
