I co-founded Clockwork Dog back in 2016 after falling in love with escape rooms and wanting to find a way to be part of this new exciting form of live entertainment. After starting out making our own games, we now primarily serve the escape room and immersive theatre industries with our interactive show control system COGS. However I still love to make games in my spare time (usually for house parties!)

Unwired Dance Theatre

"Unwired Dance Theatre makes immersive and playable experiences - for remote audiences, IRL and virtual stages, galleries and more unconventional sites. Our work questions our sense of empathy, especially when mediated through technology, and often explores what remote connection could look like.

From networked wearables to XR, we like to work at the intersection of dance and technology to create unique and thought-provoking experiences, with meaningful audience participation at its core."
