I’m a massive nerd at heart, getting stupidly excited about things like flow state, suspension of disbelief, and cognitive affordances.

My journey has been quite a rollercoaster. I dabbled in Computer Science and Fine Arts but never quite finished either. Instead, I found my groove in the wild world of digital media. This led me to Central Saint Martins in London, where I ended up teaching Digital Design while studying for my MA in Digital Media.

After that, I co-founded Watergun with my friends Ricardo, Lucas, and Eric. It was our playground for all sorts of crazy projects. We made short films about lost cosmonauts, mind-bending music videos, and even water projections for festivals. It was all about learning, growing, and pushing boundaries.

And just when I thought things couldn’t get any wilder, I got a thank-you at the 2016 Oscars for the short film “Stutterer” by Ben Cleary. I mean, clearly, it was the peak of my creative career, right? (Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.)

But then I decided to shake things up. I left the traditional film world behind and dove headfirst into immersive media when I joined Future Lighthouse. We started in a garage in Madrid, and before we knew it, Forbes was calling us “Legendary”.

In 2017, I found myself walking the iconic Venice Film Festival red carpet - a path tread since 1935 by the cream of the crop - as part of the first generation of immersive media directors to make that walk. And let me tell you, it was as surreal as it sounds.

You know how they say “never meet your heroes”? Well, I didn’t just meet mine - I got to direct them. I’m talking about working with legends like Robert Englund from “Nightmare on Elm Street”, Geraldine Chaplin from “Doctor Zhivago”, Oscar Isaac from “Star Wars”, and Rupert Grint from “Harry Potter”.

But it’s not all glitz and glamour. I’m also the proud owner of over 700+ Imperial Stormtrooper items - we’re talking toys, t-shirts, cards, toothbrushes, and even shampoo bottles. I don’t know how that happened, to be honest. Also, for more than 12 years, I’ve been mapping out London’s history through songs that mention real places since 1666. It started as my way of understanding London when I arrived and got a bit out of control.

So, there you have it—that’s me in all my nerdy, eclectic glory. If you’ve made it this far, I’m impressed and a little touched. Your curiosity is truly something special. As a token of my appreciation, here’s a virtual, slightly awkward hug. Because curiosity never killed anyone, but it might lead to uncomfortable digital embraces.
