Experience
Various Teams at
Global Game Jam (GBC Site)
January 2017, 2018, and 2019
Technical Artist / 3D Artist / Designer
Working on a few different jam games with different teams, I mostly contributed 3D models, level design/world art, and technical art (shaders, VFX, UI, etc.) across both Unity and Unreal Engine, often engaging and leading my team members.
March 2023 - August 2023
Lead Game Designer
Working on "Lost In The Open," I created and maintained the design for all of the main gameplay systems such as combat, the world map, all units, skill and gear progression, and items. I designed many of the combat encounters, levels, and scenarios in the game, and I also designed and maintained the UX and Interface for the entire game, including gameplay UX, and external/internal menus.
July 2016 - June 2017
Project Lead / Technical Artist
Working on "Lone Wolf," my Toronto Film School Capstone project, I helped direct both the artists and the programmers of our 10-student team in order to create a cohesive and polished game experience for consumers. I spent a lot of time working in UE4 to manage and polish all of our art content and continually test and balance the game. I was also responsible for a lot of the level work, pipeline, lighting, shaders, VFX, and technical animation.
