Art Comben
Founder
Art fulfils the roles of head of technology and strategist. His varied background in both design and development ensures that all projects at mohu marry high technical skill with real human needs.
Although he's mostly seen busying himself with his favorite clients Art still loves to get stuck into code and design and can often be heard vocally extolling the virtues of some mysterious new programming language.
You can check out Art's latest experiments in code-land over at our lab.
Ben Smith
Founder
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.
Cassian Opara
Creative Director and Partner
Cassian has a global digital agency background, responsible for delivering digital work for many high profile clients including Singapore Airlines, Coca cola, Unilever, and Vodafone. His work has taken him across the globe and back.
As Creative director at Mohu, Cassian brings his experience to bear on project delivery, branding, marketing, business strategy and user experience; leaving just enough time to produce some lovely drawings that help bring our clients to that “aha” moment.
Mark Scrivener
Creative PM
More than just a Project Manager, Mark benefits from a background in product design which lives on through a keen sense of aesthetics and a penchant for vinyl toys.
In a previous life Mark ran an architectural services company so he knows how to keep calm under pressure and strives daily to make sure we meet our deadlines on time, with enough left over to eat copious amounts of cake.

Kien Luu
Developer
Kien is our mobile app guru. Hailing from a background in Physics and flash development, Kien Pioneered our forays into iPhone development and recently defected to Android.
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.
Jane Kelly
Front-end Developer
Hailing from Cork in Ireland, Jane is our front-end development specialist. With several years experience developing semantic, well-coded websites for clients across Ireland.
With a degree in French and Italian under her belt Jane has since applied her language skills in learning the languages that power the web with an MSc in Multimedia Systems from Trinity College Dublin. She particularly enjoys projects with an Arts focus.
Long Chung
Designer
Long began his career in the alien world of print design, branding up a storm with independent retailers and young start-ups.
With nearly a decade of experience to draw from he ventured over to the dark side (known colloquially as digital) thus transfering his formidable layout and typographic skills into pixel based perfection.
Rikki Pitt
Back-end Developer
Rikki is our newest addition to the team and brings along with him his wealth of knowledge in CMS systems. Naming Symphony, Django and Joomla as his favourites, he is responsible for organising the backend of websites giving our clients joy in controlling their own website content.
A classic car enthusiast and a natural mechanical mind with a Masters in Chemistry, his current piece of art is his 1977 MG Midget and he's very proud of driving this little beauty around country lanes on the weekends.
