Amanda Darby – Managing Director - MAKINARIUM

There was no one moment, one door or one decision that got me into the industry - Truth is - In my head I have always been here.
I was a quiet and introspective kid, but my imagination was huge – fueled by an unrelenting torrent of books and films. I do remember the exciting moment though, when I first realised that people made these things…that it was a real career.
Makinarium is the next step of that journey for me. Forever learning, forever growing, and continuing to have the best adventures with my friends.

Jet Cooper – Creative Director & Head of 3D - MAKINARIUM

This path began when I was eight and I saw Star Wars for the first time... I wasn't sure how, but that's what I wanted to do! I have been a professional 3D modeller now for over thirty years.
I model and concept, specialising in 3D with fabrication in mind. My role as head of 3D and creative director is often aimed at generating hero props - vehicles - creatures etc.
I joined Makinarium due to our fresh ethos. We are a group of seasoned, professional artists who have united - each bringing their own set of skills to the team, to create cool gear...
