MEET GAM
An award winning, talented and experienced team
Our GAMinites are award winning, creative, diverse, friendly and open minded team of animators, consultants, illustrators and designers passionate about animating the art of science and technology. We embrace the crazy, turn it upside down, get creative and deliver the sublime.
Christopher Kennedy
Managing Director
Meet our leader, boss, head honcho, the “special” one, Chris. Take a modest handful of intelligence, mix it with entrepreneurial spirit, throw in hard work & determination, add a splash of humour and just a dash (or two) of crazy and you will start to understand the man that began this company! A successful, passionate old school businessman with a digital touch, Chris lives, loves and works with strict values. His word is his bond, he always gives his best, never gives up, is transparent and strongly believes in collaboration and mutually beneficial relationships. These values have also helped him achieve sporting honours in a number of disciplines, which he would be very happy to talk about! His phone and door are always open to help, support and provide guidance to friends, clients (old and new) and of course his ever growing team of GAMinites!
Claudio Sa
Creative Director
Claudio is a real mixture – amusing but diligent, good fun but with an amazing work ethic. Super reliable with a passion for delivering work of exceptional quality on time – he keeps his promises. These qualities, and his creativity, have made him one of the most awarded animation directors of his generation – his work has been shown in more than 100 international film festivals, including Cannes, Annecy and AnimaMundi. We won’t list all his achievements as his head would no longer fit in the studio. Not surprisingly one of his hobbies is animation, but he also loves football and food (but not at the same time).
Joao Jacinto
Animation Director
João is hardworking, dedicated and passionate, but also the joker of our pack. A zen master of 3D animation, VR/AR modelling, texturing and rendering, he has worked for a number of international visual effects companies and prestigious brands like Gillette and UEFA. His experience is a huge asset on any project involving gaming, VR/AR, visual effects, publicity, general animation and medical animation. When not working he gets extra screen time by playing video games. In real life he likes crossfit, 3D sculpting and printing as well as playing the electric guitar and bass. He dreams that one day he’ll become a great artist and leave his mark on the world (watch this space).
Darren Appleby
Director
Gabriella Brown
Director
With an impressive career that started in the world of pharmaceuticals (oncology), Gabs pursued a path in med comms, and has a wealth of experience across many therapeutic areas. What she doesn’t know about delivering effective and powerful messaging, isn’t worth knowing.
Tatiana Duarte
Senior Designer
Tatiana is feisty, creative and caring – she provides a never-ending supply of great ideas and will not rest until your project has been transformed into something truly extraordinary. Her mastery of drawing, painting and photography is awesome. If she can’t visualise it then it’s probably not worth illustrating in the first place! She likes going to the gym, walking her dog Vénus, reading adventure books and watching lots of movies. Asked to supply a weird fact about herself she replied that “my two nephews are aged 8 and 5…they are now taller than me!”…funny too!

Lead Software Developer
Georgia Haynes
Partnership Executive
Having recently graduated with a BA in Cultural Studies and Media – while in parallel finding her passion for modern marketing through building her own following – Georgia brings her fresh influencer style to the team with her enthusiasm for all things digital and communication. She’s fully committed to the GAM ethos of outstanding customer service, and is driven, energetic and loves to chat. Give her a call or send her a message to say ‘hi!’ and she can tell you more about how we can help you get animated.
Mia Georgiou
Creative Medical Writer
Mia is bubbly, intelligent and a breath of fresh air. She has an outrageously positive outlook on life, her energy is contagious, and she can be relied on for her creative problem solving and scientific expertise. Putting 100% into everything she does, Mia worked extremely hard to achieve her master’s degree in molecular biology, and quality is an important value to her. Her interpersonal skills together with her analytical mind are a real asset to the team. She is a keen explorer, photographer, animal lover and feels more at home in the sea than on land. When she’s not thinking about the molecular biology behind bioluminescence she’d rather be diving, surfing or practicing her yoga.
Ella White
Insight Analyst
Ella has charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent. She is hardworking and focussed, dedicating herself to the task at hand. She loves science, achieving a BSc in Biomedical Sciences, specialising in pharmacology, and wants to share her passion with others, by making science accessible to all. She has strong interpersonal skills, honed from her years of volunteering, including at her local foodbank where she went frequently to help those experiencing food poverty. Ella loves music and festivals as well as travelling and exploring new places and is an energetic addition to our family.
GAM Pets
We are all animal lovers and find their quirky ways constantly inspire us with fresh ideas. Some of the best animated films of all time feature lovable creatures great and small so we’re not embarrassed to admit we have a soft spot for our furry friends!
