About

I lead VISUALISE, an immersive content studio that helps brands use XR, AR/VR and 360° video to change customer behaviour. For 13+ years we’ve shipped production-ready experiences for global clients including Louis Vuitton, Mercedes-AMG F1, O2, BBC, Adidas, Ray-Ban, Samsung and the Red Cross. WHAT WE DO: • XR strategy → production: concept, prototyping, virtual production, realtime/Unreal, WebAR/WebXR, CG/FX, app builds. • 360° video at scale: capture, stitching, post, spatial audio, distribution. • Augmented Reality Production: end-to-end design to delivery of interactive brand marketing experiences. I co-founded Meta Camera with Sebastian Hagemeister - producing the world's highest resolution and quality 360 video cameras for VR, online and virtual productions. SELECTED OUTCOMES: • Delivered high-visibility immersive campaigns in sport, entertainment, fashion and retail; high profile brand use across markets. • Pioneered 360 live streaming workflows for government 5G Testbed and venue deployments (e.g., Eden Project). • Regular media commentary in BBC, FT, Wired, The Drum, etc. I advise CMOs, content heads and innovation leads on when immersive drives ROI and when it doesn’t. If you need a partner to scope, produce and ship an immersive project with measurable impact, connect or email me via the Visualise website.
