Warren worked alongside BBC Technology in utilising the very first 360 degree virtual cameras and designing 3D virtual environments. After a period of time he moved into BBC 3DFX department, concentrating on digital animation and used his talent to create graphics for ‘Saturday Show, CBeebies, Shoebox Zoo, and claimed many prestigious awards.

He became an Autodesk Accredited Trainer in Maya and now produces curriculum for the new Autodesk STEAM website for Schools in the USA and UK.
