About me

10+ years of management experience in Art roles. I’ve always styled myself as a master of all trades and a company-wide problem solver. Because of these traits I’ve always progressed in the companies I have worked for and my roles have expanded year on year outside of the confines of my department. Working at Playtech (the world’s largest online gaming software supplier) gave me the opportunity to work with and learn from some of the industries best producers. And through Playtech I was entrusted with some amazing brands - most notably a number of high-profile Warner Brothers and DC titles.
