Barry Cheney

I’ve worked now as a designer for about 12 years.

After finishing college I had short stints at a repro house and local newspaper learning the ropes.

From there I spent an intense but rewarding few years working for a Northampton design agency before being attracted toward a job working in-house for a video games publisher. It seemed a natural fit to combine my background in design with a genuine interest in gaming. After an enjoyable five years there I decided it was time for a change and here I am.

I enjoy both the creative and technical aspects of the role of designer and to see a successful end result is still satisfying.

Outside of Work

Apart from spending as much of my free time with friends and family as possible I would say my main interests lie in gaming. Blame a mispent youth inhabiting and working in arcades, and playing games on the first clunkiest home computers to the latest systems. It's been a passion I have yet to shake.

Other than this I enjoy taking in all the latest gadgets, movies and music that I can.

When not filled with these distractions I like long weekend walks rewarded by even longer afternoons in the pub.
