Q

Earliest gaming memory?

Answer
The first proper game I remember playing was Need for Speed Underground 2, which I was able to play on the computer with a VERY thick beige monitor! The garage music from that game will stay with me until the end of my days.

Q

What was the game that triggered you looking at games as a career?

Answer
Making games was not something I was aware was even possible as a profession – my dream when I was young was to become a 2D animator. Looking back, It was kind of inevitable for me to turn to the dark arts of technical art – I was great at math and at art, AND I wanted to create incredible worlds!
