Matthew Duddington

Technical Specialist - Digital Design

Technical Services

My background sits at an intersection of digital graphical arts, psychology and computer software. I have a particular interest in the simulation of agent personality and memory within video games.

Within our Technical Instruction sessions, I teach a wide range of digital image creation and manipulation skills, as well as design for publication layout. I also offer support on an ad-hoc basis throughout the year for ongoing project work.
