Originally from Newport in South Wales, Declan is a writer now based in Glasgow, Scotland.
A keen video game fan, he hosts a weekly podcast called Checkpoints wherein he interviews various video game luminaries about the video games that shaped their life.
Since it’s important to have something sensible to fall back on should the writing not work out, Declan is also a professional magician.
Declan has been selected for the BBC Writersroom Scotland 2018-19, the talent lab at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and is also on the BFI Network X BAFTA crew for 2019.
In 2021, Declan's project BLOOM was selected for the Edinburgh International Film Festival's Talent Lab Connects (TLC) Scheme.
In 2022 Declan has been selected for BAFTA Connect and Shortlisted for the Studio 21 Script Competition.
