About Me
My name is Jamie Durrant and I’m a 37 year old geek working as a Senior Graphic Designer for Lionhead Studios. This website serves as a showcase of all the work I have done inside and outside of the games industry in the past few years.
Short Biography
I was born on April 18th 1971 in Norwich, Norfolk in the UK. I had my first taste of computing age 10, with the Sinclair ZX81.
After a few too many wobbly ram packs, I moved through a variety of increasingly powerful computers until I got hooked on Prestel (a precursor to the Internet) where I started to design graphics for various groups.
I was also heavily into special effects (make-up and sculpture), perhaps due to a great uncle who was a magician. It was not unusual to find me covered in bruises and scars of my own making. (I have very supportive parents).
Leaving school I went to Norwich School of Art & Design where I was taught the benefits of sitting for hours in a darkened classroom writing essays on past masters.
In the early 90’s, I left Norwich for the golden paved streets of London where I took on a wide variety of jobs. I eventually settled in leafy Surrey working for a newly created company called Lionhead Studios.
In 2006 we were brought under the wing of Microsoft.Â
Currently putting together a studio/workshop so that I can get back into my sculpting.
