A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
Arty – Techie – Geek
I’ve spent more than two decades designing digital learning experiences that help people think more clearly, make better decisions and build confidence before those decisions matter. My career has taken me from humanitarian response to Defence, where I’ve led award winning projects spanning serious games, behavioural simulation, learning experience design and creative innovation.
What keeps me motivated isn’t the technology itself. It’s understanding people. Whether I’m designing a learning journey, prototyping a serious game or experimenting with Unreal Engine, I’m interested in how thoughtful design can change behaviour and create meaningful experiences.
This website is where I share that journey. It’s a place to document my work, explore new ideas and contribute to the conversations shaping the future of learning, design and technology.
