2nd Jul 2025

d3t is excited to announce that Louise Andrew has become its new Head of Studio, replacing Richard Badger, who is taking on a new role as UK Regional Director at d3t’s parent company, Keywords Studios.

Louise who has been at d3t since 2019, has taken on the new role of Studio Head from her previous position as Head of Art, where she led and grew d3t’s art team to over 40+ artists across the UK and Europe. This team included specialists in animation, technical art, lighting, UI, and VFX. Art Director, Anthony O’Donnell, will now take on the role of Head of Art at d3t.

Talking about her new role, Louise said, I am truly honoured to take on the role of Head of Studio at d3t. Since joining the studio in 2019, I have been working alongside so many fantastic colleagues, and have had the privilege of being able to build up an amazing team of talented artists and animators.

“The decision to take on the role of Head of Studio is not one that I take lightly. But it is an absolute privilege, and I am excited for the challenge. It is no secret that the games industry is experiencing difficult times. However, with the talented team and the experience that we have at d3t, I am confident that we are in a good place to navigate them, so that we can continue to add great value to our client’s games.

“I would like to say a huge thank you to all the brilliant people at d3t who have supported and encouraged me to take on this responsibility and I am excited to continue to support both our amazing team and our wonderful clients.”

With over 20 years in the games industry, Louise will bring a magnitude of experience to the role. Combining this experience with her core values of wanting to create a positive and inspiring culture where people thrive on creativity and collaboration without egos, will continue to put d3t on the roadmap to not only be the go-to co-development studio, but also as a studio that continues to build on its award-winning culture.  

Over the course of the past few years, Louise has received multiple nominations within the Best Boss category at the GamesIndustry.biz awards. She also received the Career Mentor award at the 2023 MCV Women in Games awards – a testament to Louise’s ability to grow and develop great teams.
