About me
I am a creative individual with a background in digital development and experience working on some of the UK’s largest entertainment brands. After leaving University, I was hired by the largest independent TV production company in the world, Endemol Shine, to reformat iconic television IP’s (including Mr Bean, Deal or No Deal, Pointless, Simon’s Cat and Big Brother) into original digital products and games.
I have an incredibly strong understanding of the video game industry as a whole, keeping an eye on the latest design trends and how the market is evolving. I keep up to date with latest game releases and am very aware of the current market for premium and free to play games, mobile and console. I have released games for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS and Android platforms in a game designer and game producer role.
For the past few months, I have been producing digital content for some of the UK's biggest shows (X Factor, Britain's Got Talent, The Apprentice, Celebrity Juice). During this time I have also been responsible for setting up new work pipelines, planning content schedules and managing a team of researchers.
