Art Comben
Partner and Developer
Art cut his teeth producing online games for the likes of Disney, Nickelodeon and Sony Computer Entertainment garnering a taste for all things mathematical.
During his time at Mook and Poke he acquired a penchant for application frameworks — working on high profile projects for Mars, Ballantines and Orange, picking up an FWA Award on the way.
You can check out Art's latest experiments in code-land over at our lab.
Ben Smith
Partner and Designer
Ben started his career designing sites for Beyonce, Christina, Kaiser Chiefs and youth/entertainment brands such as Nickelodeon and Disney.
A host of other design projects followed for Sony, EMAP and Philips, leading to his design work being featured in a .NET magazine profile in March 2007.
His understanding of the development processes and technologies powering the web afford him the unusual luxury of being able to drift in between the design and development worlds.
Tim Kendrick
Lead Developer
Tim has provided development solutions for an impressive list of clients, including Warner Bros, Sony Pictures, Lionsgate, BBC, HBO, Paramount and Universal, to name just a few.
With a degree in Philosophy from Cambridge, Tim is someone you might want to think twice about getting in a debate with (although that doesn’t stop Kien).
He also possesses a veritable collection of cardigans — the envy of all the office!
Kien Luu
Developer
Kien is our game-engine guru. Hailing from a background in Physics, he is pioneering our forays into the world of mobile gaming, augmented reality and AI.
Kien loves nothing more than impromptu debates on CIA conspiracy theories and the communist manifesto.
His inexplicable appetite for pork scratchings and fried chicken is outstripped only by his proclivity for copious quantities of Redbull.
