I have been working in the games industry for the last 10 years, with 5 published games. I would describe myself as a hard worker. I prefer a busy working environment, I am confident under pressure and enjoy working to tight deadlines. I love working within a team as well as leading it as it gives me and others the opportunity to gain and pass on new knowledge. Lately I strive to sketch as much real life as possible and attend life drawing classes to maintain my skill set.
Away from the office I like to surf as many coasts as possible and like to keep active as much as I can, I try to run either a marathon or triathlon once a year. Besides that, I have a 3 year old boy and a 7 month old little girl who keeps me on my toes.
