I'm from the Lake District, went to university in the great city of Hull before heading to Manchester where I ended up working for Mainframe and then Scene Group. These days I live in Sheffield.

After working as an animator for 9 years, I now design and develop animation software. I created MASH for Autodesk Maya, I then contracted on Maya for around 3 years after they bought MASH. Following that I also contracted with the amazing Bifrost UX team for 5 months. MASH was considered for a Sci-Tech Oscar in 2018.

I'm now leading the charge on Cavalry which I co-created with the very talented Martin Vejdarski. You can read about Cavalry here.

Away from the computer I'm a lindy hopper, ex chef and a fastidious wine drinker.
