Shane has been working professionally in the Australian games industry since late 2006, wearing many hats in that time (design, level design, QA, art, tech art… he gets around), and was participant in various mod scenes for at least a decade prior to that. He has also been involved in games education since 2009 across various schools, currently teaching game design at AIE.

For the last year, he has also been running the new game studio Mana Tea, which aims to build career opportunities for recent grads and people new to the industry. He likes piña coladas, but is not a fan of getting caught in the rain.
