lay3d Immersive
Developer.

Hello. I develop web and application solutions. Specialising in immersive Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality experiences. I help agencies, start-ups and businesses with digital services for their success. Edinburgh UK based, freelance, remote worldwide.

About.

Former co-founder of Gamevial Games with seventeen years in games and interactive development. During this time I helped build custom content for a variety of blue chip and media clients. In addition we built and published games in-house that amazingly-luckily-humblingly reached millions players worldwide, thank you people 🙏.

Available for freelance projects or contract work. I am keen to collaborate on innovative projects that challenge creative limits. Leveraging the latest technologies, I aim to engage, educate or entertain through connected and shared experiences.

When not at key I can be found cooking in the wilderness or designing cookware for fire.

Butterflyverse

The Butterflyverse is a new iteration of the Butterfly Game experience. A multiplayer butterfly simulator I built where players can paint and share wing art. Leaning into modern XR technologies; playable anywhere, single codebase, community driven, art sharing and with a nod to mindfulness. By introducing more species and habitats I hope this title can help raise awareness of butterflies worldwide and their habitats.

The world needs more 🦋 🦋 🦋 and connection.
