Edward Pattman

Ed has been with Northern Lights Gaming since its very beginning, joining the company at the start of 2017. With over a decade of experience in the gaming industry, Ed’s journey began in 2004 as an artist at Barcrest. At the time, he worked under Andy, who led the art team in the world of old-school pub slots to cutting-edge video touchscreen cabinets. Barcrest evolved through acquisitions by IGT and Scientific Games, giving Ed the chance to work on a ton of different iconic games and licenses.

In 2017, Ed and Andy embarked on the Northern Lights Gaming adventure together, starting with a small two-person office in the UK. Since then, Ed has played a pivotal role in growing the company from a team of six to nearly 30, releasing an impressive portfolio of over 40 games. In 2021, Ed transitioned from his art role to become a producer, overseeing the entire game development process. Guiding a game from its initial concept—whether it’s a sketch, a name, or a bonus idea—to its final release remains one of his greatest thrills.

When it comes to his favourite Northern Lights game, Ed has a soft spot for the classic 5 Star Knockout but names More Unusual Suspects as a personal favourite.
