Artist

I'm a hands-on creative & technical director specialising in realtime and virtual production. Story-driven games with optional VR is my focus right now but I'm always open to work on other things. I do words, code and music.

Highlights from my work include Northern Biosecurity Training (2026), Through The Eyes Of Our Ancestors (2023), A Clever Label (2021), ACO Virtual (2013), Sanctuary (2005) and Horses for Courses (2001).

I voiced Esther in Wayward Strand (2022).

Here are some interviews on my work - AusFilm: Staying croc-wise, fxguide and Django Girls and other articles on technology, society and culture.

Entrepreneur

Mish Sparks and I co-founded Mod in 2010 - a studio best known for real-time and virtual production.

Rack&Pin is my SaaS platform for hybrid production and mixed reality experience. Rack&Pin includes tools and methods I've designed and refined since 2006. It has powered games, film&TV, museums, galleries, enterprise services, and live events.

Grapho is my toolkit for data science + storytelling.

Prior to Mod I founded MOD Films (2004-2009) with a NESTA (UK) Invention award for "remixable film".

My consultancy thequality.com (1998-2008) worked on some of the largest dotcom projects in Europe.

Technologist

My technology experience spans games, media & entertainment, big tech, government, finance, retail and knowledge management.

With hands-on skills and experience as a technical architect and executive I've helped deliver ambitious digital products and services with budgets up to US$150m.

Translating between business, creative and technical teams is what I do. From learning to code on the Commodore 64 in the mid-80s, to creating the first website in NSW in 1993 through to AI-enabled experiences today, I'm always building something.
