Gareth Griffiths is a usability expert at Sidhe Interactive in New Zealand. He's a self-professed game-playing scuba diver with a background in virtual reality and a passion for games and game development. He's worked on Jackass the Game for the PSP and PlayStation 2, Gripshift for the PlayStation 3, and will be involved with Speed Racer as it makes its way through development.

He used to hate his job working on software applications for the banking sector. So he left and found himself a job in the video game industry. We talked to him about it via email.
