What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own level design from greyboxing to lighting and cinematic fly-throughs, collaborate through clear feedback loops, and deliver optimized environments with strong documentation and deadline reliability.

I’m a Level Designer and 3D Art professional with a strong focus on building playable, well-lit environments and translating creative direction into camera-ready moments. I’ve worked remotely across multiple productions, and I’m comfortable iterating fast with continuous playblasts and feedback.

Across my recent roles, I’ve owned level greyboxing and finalization, planned player paths and alternate routes, and delivered perspective shots of key landmarks. I also build lighting pipelines—light baking in Unity and real-time Lumen lighting in UE5—plus create clear studio documentation so teams stay aligned.

I bring depth in environment art and asset workflows as well: from 3D environment art and simple on-collision interactions via visual scripting to Unity shader graphs (e.g., hologram shaders) and large-scale WebGL/mesh compliance checks. Earlier, I also specialized in AR/VR—creating optimized 3D models, rigs, animations, and baked lighting/lightmap UVs for Unity and Unreal Engine 4.27.
