Here be the website for Bury Edmund Limited, which really is just my personal company so I can be a contractor and not get slapped about by the HMRC.
The name "Bury Edmund" comes from my middle and last name, those being Edmund and Berry. I grew up in a small village in England called Saltwood where I spent most of my time playing with my cats or building ridiculous (read: extremely dangerous) contraptions with my oldest friend, Guy. My personal favourite was a 7ft long combustion powered cannon that we made out of plumbing, an old barbecue lighter and petrol when we were 16 and unaware that we were technically breaking numerous very serious laws.
I am currently hopping between Grand Rapids, Michigan and back home in Kent, England. I'd like to stay in the U.S. but that's all visa dependent and I don't intend on getting myself permanently barred from the U.S. so I have to play by their rules (which honestly is fair enough).
I've been in the videogame industry since 2012, some journalism, publishing and development here and there. In 2016 I started development on a visual novel style game called "Woodsalt" which released in February 2021 but unfortunately our PR company downsized two weeks before launch, so nobody knew it came out. Shame.
I've also been a project manager and contractor for just shy of a decade, working with companies big and small such as Ticketmaster and a handful of Lloyd's underwriters and brokers. Organisation is my jam, and I'm as proficient as they come with Agile methodologies and the hybrid versions that develop for specific tasks.Â
With my decade or so in the videogame industry I collected a handful of hard working, honest and trustworthy professionals who I work with on new projects when I take contracts to work with other companies, or any projects I may be dreaming up meaning that I can take on most any projects of a creative or programming nature with a reliable team of experts behind me.
I've been making music for a long, long time. I learned piano when I was six, and my parents bought me an acoustic guitar for my 19th birthday. I've been on TV and radio a few times, played a lot of gigs, had a lot of fun. My music has gone by plenty of different names, but out of sheer confusion I've decided to just bundle all of my creative works into one place, thus "Bury Edmund".
