What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a team where I can design narrative-driven, exploration-focused levels in Unreal Engine 5—building from graybox to finished gameplay, iterating through playtesting, and improving player flow, puzzle readability, and environmental storytelling.

I’m a Level Designer with hands-on experience developing exploration-driven gameplay spaces and narrative-focused environments in Unreal Engine 5. I build levels from initial graybox blockouts into polished gameplay experiences, using Blueprints plus iterative playtesting to sharpen player flow, pacing, navigation clarity, and engagement.

Across projects like Safalta Setu (modular graybox environments, player flow & puzzle design) and Guiding Tails (exploration-driven levels, environmental storytelling, puzzle progression, and NPC interaction), I focus on environmental signposting, readable puzzles, and emotionally guided traversal. I also designed horror experiences—Echoes and NotSoPT—by scripting gameplay progression and encounters in Blueprints, then evaluating spatial tension, interaction density, and scale through repeated iteration.
