What I'm looking for

I'm looking to design and ship engaging game experiences where I can own level flow, player navigation and systemic gameplay while collaborating closely with art and engineering.

I've led level design on Transformers: EarthSpark – Expedition at Tessera Studios, shaping the overall map structure and level design direction for the shipped action-adventure title. I also designed four levels for Star Trek: Prodigy – Supernova, including puzzles and player-navigation systems in Unreal Engine 4.

Across console, PC, mobile and VR projects, I turn greyboxes into polished playable spaces using Unreal Blueprints, Unity and production-ready documentation. I work closely with art and engineering on level flow, environmental storytelling, optimization and gameplay implementation.
