I returned to full time university study as a mature student to explore creative digital techniques, and moved into the games industry, where I worked on several titles as both a coder, designer and 3D artist. I then moved into education, initially in a technical role (Media Technician of the year 2014 HEA) then into lecturing. Currently I am studying electronics with a view to investigating biofeedback and visualisation in Game Engines.
