I have actively applied innovative engineering and special effect systems for live experiences since 1996. I have played a key part in the largest global events from Production Manager to Special Effects Designer. My roles have often occupied a unique space, bridging technical and creative disciplines. In 2009 I founded Event FX Limited as a vehicle to deliver innovative Special Effect services to the live events sector. In 2017 I started up Luminous Show Technology to design and manufacture advanced hardware that performs better and makes heads turn.
