About
What I Do
After taking a break from the video gaming industry in late 2023, I joined Blue Mountain Media as a Visual Media Specialist in March 2024. In this role, I managed web development, social media, graphic design, video editing, and led a small team of apprentices. In October 2024, I was promoted to Senior Digital Specialist, which is now my current role. This promotion expanded my responsibilities to include strategic project management and driving digital innovation across the organisation.
In 2023, I concluded my last gaming role as a Freelance Producer at Conductr in Manchester, overseeing product and game development for their Game Volt Social Gaming Product Division. I contributed to “The Arena” project for Conductr’s client, Dave & Busters in the USA. That same year, I worked as a Producer at Immersive Gamebox, managing game releases like “PAW Patrol: New Recruits” and “Ghostbusters – The Cursed Collection”. At Dimension Studios, I served as a Character and Metaverse Producer, working on projects for clients like Wired Magazine, Nike, and Sky Sports.
From 2012 to 2020, I served as an Executive Producer at ISM LTD, overseeing the production and game development of Official Olympic Video Games across multiple platforms, which included the very successful and popular “Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games” franchise. An important part of my role was coordinating with the International Olympic Committee on asset and code approval.
