About

I created the world's first tangible Twitter installation, turning live tweets into bespoke fragrances at global tech conferences. I built the first-ever interactive app on Spotify. A friend and I created a free app that now has over seven million users, and I recently topped Hacker News with a 'coming soon' page. I spent 8 years as a senior creative developer at one of the UK's top creative agencies, and 4 years crafting game mechanics and special effects for open-world MMORPG games. I was then lead designer/developer at a venture-backed tech startup for 6 years, delivering interactive 3D data visualisations for Fortune 500 clients.
