Level / Combat Designer
About Me
Experienced level designer seeking a position that will continue to grow my skill set and advance my career. I am passionate about collaborating with a team to scaffold creative designs from the ground up using acquired knowledge and skillful digital architecture. In my free time I enjoy reading, sports, food, and video games.
As a child of the 90s, I watched as games evolved from pixel side-scrollers to polygonal online games, and as their technology and narratives evolved, my interest in how people made games grew. I wanted to know how everything worked. I started researching games on a foundational level. While somewhat antiquated today, video game modding caught my interest. Seeing how games function by way of altering their design.
Being from a small town in Kansas, access to resources and game design education was limited, but college opened doors for me to explore my potential. When it came time for grad school I decided to pursue my passions, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work in this industry.
