The team
A four-person studio with a hundred years between us, across global technology companies, leading cultural institutions and regulated industries. Small enough to be in the room with you, senior enough that the people in the room are the people doing the work.
Simon is a serial entrepreneur with a portfolio spanning property investment, building services, fitness, retail and software. His recent focus has been platforms that connect service providers with their customers through community-led design.
Educated at Westminster School and Durham University (BSc Psychology), with an MSc in Computing Science from Birkbeck. Alongside running his own companies, he sits on the board of a London Family Office, where he advises on strategic investment and operational decisions.
Nigel's career bridges deep technology and creative tooling. After an AI degree in 1996, he spent years inside the mobile industry with Nokia and Samsung. As a mobile architect he consulted for Lloyds and MBNA, designing analytics for banking apps used by millions.
As Head of Mobile at Triller he led a team of thirty-plus engineers, scaling a social video platform to millions of daily users. He has spent more than a decade working at the intersection of AI and creative software: generative audio, video editing, tools that put advanced models in the hands of people without a technical background.
Paddy brings twenty-five years across financial services, regulation and emerging-technology deployment. A Durham graduate, he spent two decades in advisory at KPMG and Capgemini Invent, specialising in risk and regulation, and served as a financial regulator.
The last five years have been on the build side. Disruptive businesses and platforms, with a particular focus on Web3 and AI deployment. The combination of regulatory grounding and operational experience lets him take strategic intent into compliant, executable programmes in fast-moving technology environments.
Davy is a researcher, creative technologist and strategist working at the edge of applied AI. His background is unusually broad for the field: a BA in Fine Art, an MRes in Digital Media, and a PhD in Neuroevolutionary AI.
He has published peer-reviewed work on AI/ML algorithm design and holds several granted patents in blockchain. Notable collaborations include real-time adaptive broadcasting systems with BBC R&D, and leading Tate's first location-based mobile curatorial platform, which reshaped how visitors engage with the collection.
His work consistently returns to the same question: how to take an abstract technological possibility and turn it into something that works in the world for the people it is supposed to serve.
