Summary
Charles Yarnold is a Creative Technologist with 16 years of experience blending hardware, software and theatrical rigging to produce interactive installations for brands and festivals. He designs and builds bespoke hardware, middleware and networks to turn playful concepts—cyberpunk event installs, responsive retail windows, or 56-networked Christmas trees—into robust, real-time experiences. His work includes high-profile projects for Ted Baker, Google and large-scale festival spaces like NullSector at Electromagnetic Field, where reverse-engineering and custom protocols were key to success. Trained in stage management and theatre technicals at LAMDA and formerly Deputy Chief LX at a Grade I listed theatre, he brings production-grade reliability and a theatrical sensibility to engineering challenges. Colleagues rely on him for thoughtful collaboration, inventive problem solving, and systems that make technically complex installations feel personal and magical.
