Collaboration with the art team was a cornerstone of my work, as I strived to create visually impressive and immersive levels that enhanced player immersion.Currently, I am working as a Level Designer at Rubyshark, where I continue to pour my passion into game development.

This role has allowed me to demonstrate full ownership of the level design process for the critically acclaimed "Security Base" level. I excel in white-boxing and iterative development, and I take pride in expertly receiving and implementing feedback in a positive and constructive manner. My ability to communicate design goals effectively to cross-functional teams fosters seamless collaboration with art and programming departments.
