Creative Director

Kieran Crimmins

I want you to do the best, most creative work of your career and as Creative Director I'll do everything in my power to make that happen. I love imagining new and interesting places games can go. I try to live with one foot in the present and one in the future. Which usually means I spend way too much time in VR or long abstract deliberation down the Pub. Feel free to come and join me. I want to hear your ideas, support your passions and imagine a future where we make something truly spectacular together.
