About
I'm co-founder of Kolex, the leading platform for digital collectibles in esports and gaming. I've led product, design, and development for 10 years, building trusted experiences in collectibles and fantasy for some of the world's largest brands including ESL, Tencent, Kings League & Warner Bros. We've minted over 400M collectibles and our 1M+ collectors have opened nearly 40M packs.
I have 26 years in the industry, from CEO at Ryze Software and Esportsify to CCO at Xfire (23M+ users). I founded Jowst, the tournament platform that was acquired by Xfire, Tiny Rocketship creative agency, and co-founded NEVERBLAND, the London based digital product studio. Earlier, I focused on progressing accessibility and web standards at Future Publishing and Engino, spending an excessive amount of time at war with Internet Explorer 6!
I'm based just outside Bath, UK. I'm passionate about marrying technology with user-centric design—championing usability and web standards across everything I build.
