ABOUT CIARÁN DALY
I build studios, teams and pipelines that make ambitious games achievable. I help everyone make better development decisions by bringing clarity to scope, risk, resourcing, and delivery across business and games. I am strongest in environments where you need to align creative ambition with production reality, unify creative, financial, and team, and ensure things get done across multiple stakeholders.After more than a decade at PlayStation London Studio, where I led Art, Animation and External Development across large-scale production. I built these departments as a single ecosystem, uniting internal teams and global partners and creating the structures and workflows that enabled different types of talent to succeed together. That work helped the studio scale into a complex, globally distributed pipeline without losing sight of the people behind it.My background spans hands-on art production, multi-million-dollar external programmes, strategic operations, and collaboration across HR, Legal, IT and Finance. This mix of creative and commercial experience allows me to connect ambition with practicality and to translate decisions made at the top into quality for players and fairness in production.Today, as a Co-Founder and Director of Twisted Works, I’m building a studio designed to deliver bold new IP through a structure that empowers teams, partnerships that scale, and protects creativity rather than constrains it. My work anchors vision with reality so that teams can do the best work of their careers, and so the worlds we imagine can actually exist.Players get great games when creators are supported and led with clarity.
