I am the Joint Programme Leader of the Digital Animation department at the University of Hertfordshire. I have taught here since 2003, starting as visiting lecturer and rising to my current position. Prior to working at Hertfordshire I was a Lead Artist in the Games Industry for five years, working on games for the GameBoy Advance, Playstation2 and PSone, Xbox and PC platforms at a number of developers in the UK and Sweden. I have also worked as an illustrator for the Times newspaper for two years and as an architectural visualiser for two years.
