About

I am a Creative Technologist and Games Developer with a focus on interactive works, mainly using game engines to create unique forms of interaction. My work centres around providing custom solutions to unique problems using tech, such as a way to creatively display accessibility content in a live performance or provide a new way for users to physically interact with a piece.

I work both digitally and physically, from coding and designing interaction systems to gallery installations and performance capture sessions. My aim is to work alongside creative businesses to design, plan and execute a concept using a novel approach to technology.

I am based in St Albans, UK - open for collaboration across the UK and beyond. Don’t hesitate to contact me by email at adam@adam-stephenson.co.uk or on instagram at @adams.creativetech.
