Freelance
I have worked in the Digital Interactive Entertainment industry since 1992 and have designed, produced or licensed gaming products on almost every platform from Amiga to PS3. I am a creative problem solver with a keen eye for details and the production experience to assist in any interactive project, large or small. I have negotiated multimillion dollar contracts, licensed software and Hollywood IP, launched a games console, ran a creative studio and designed countless projects for I-DVD, mobile, handheld, console and PC for major publishers as both an employee and freelance agent.
I have worked on smooth running projects and projects from hell and have a keen eye to the hidden pitfalls of game development in both design, production and business development disciplines.
