Creative Director / Art Director / Designer

Creative Director and Art Director with over 25 years of international experience across AAA and independent game development, including the BioShock, XCOM, and Borderlands franchises.

Combining creative vision with extensive hands-on production expertise, I specialise in world-building, visual development, environment art, level design, and establishing cohesive art direction across PC, console, mobile, and VR.

Experienced in leading and mentoring large, multicultural art teams of up to 50 artists, developing production pipelines, and collaborating across disciplines to deliver ambitious, visually distinctive game experiences.

From initial concept through to final in-engine execution, I bring both the creative leadership and practical production knowledge needed to turn ideas into compelling game worlds..
