A 21 year-old from Derry is experiencing global success after forming a company that designs the equivalent of Lego sets that can be downloaded across the world.

Jonathan Black, along with his friend Alex Bellavita, formed Blockception in 2015, a business that now develops virtual content for Minecraft.

The talented duo went from gamers to successful business owners after they used their skills to create a global company.

Derry company Blockception is taking the world by storm with its virtual creations for blockbuster game ‘Minecraft’.

The Campsie-based company was recently honoured as ‘North West Creative Industries Business of the Year’ in recognition of its leadership in a global marketplace for Minecraft ‘maps’.

Blockception was chosen as one of Microsoft’s pioneer partners to support the Minecraft Marketplace, a partner program between Microsoft and content creators.
