Edward comes from a highly creative background both technically and artistically. While a keen photographer and musician, Edward found his way into software development through an interest in computers at an early age. He always applied this to graphics and through various hobbies in game making as well as being a VJ for many years, he eventually pushed through to becoming a professional VFX artist.

In CG he has worked in many areas, through commercials, interactive and feature films. Edward is a senior Generalist and can be found modeling, rigging, lighting, doing R&D and many other things.

Edward has a passion for learning and is always looking for new ways to use technology to make things look beautiful. He believes that the juice is to be found in the overlap between technical and artistic creativity.
