Hello! I’m Jackson.
I have a passion for building highly-polished user experiences, and enjoy leading cross-disciplinary teams to innovate and deliver!

What's my background?

2014 2018

Prior to my 2019 switch to freelance, between 2014 and 2018 I worked in-house at UNIT9 in London as Head of QA & Project Management Office. I helped deliver 200+ projects for leading agencies and direct brand clients.

I created the Quality Assurance function from scratch, and evolved the Production department in terms of production processes, tools, and talent. I was actively involved in all of the studio's interactive output; this was both a delivery and an internal auditing & advisory role.

Commercial projects covered Web, Mobile Apps, VR/AR and Experiential - and often unusual combinations. I also devised and led numerous internal tools from concept to roll-out as product owner.

1996 2013

Prior to 2014, for 17 years, I worked in the video games industry for leading publishers and development studios such as PlayStation, SEGA, Atari Melbourne House and Keen Games.

These were a mixture of production, resourcing and leadership roles. For a full breakdown, please check out my LinkedIn profile! My credits list can be found on MobyGames.

Where am I?

Based in the UK, I split my time between London and the coastal town of Margate. I have seven years of working internationally under my belt, having previously been based in Melbourne and Frankfurt.

As a freelancer I'm happy to work in-house. I can also adjust my schedule when working remotely, to fit with European-based teams, or even US clients when needed.
