I am a well-rounded game designer with 6 years of experience in the industry, entirely in Unreal Engine 4 & 5. I have worked in mission design, quest design, level design, and assisted with narrative design on small and large projects, 30-200 people. Large indie and AAA experience, singleplayer and multiplayer. Looking for the next challenge, in a role where I can take advantage of my broad knowledge base.
I can assist in almost any design task, but I am most passionate when I own a large piece of content as a product owner and see it through from beginning to end. I have experience in every stage of the content’s lifecycle: pitching levels and missions in paper design; iterating on director feedback from kickoff; rapidly standing up a blockout for feedback; prototyping any necessary mechanics in Blueprint; properly implementing a project’s features and workflow; and polishing for ship. Collaborating with stakeholders from every other department along the way, of course!
In my spare time, I enjoy writing fiction and non-fiction, novels and essays. I'm also a sucker for 18th century British Romantic-era poetry.
