With over 10 years of dedicated experience in the game industry, I specialise in creating cohesive visual ecosystems — from the first UX wireframe to the final promotional campaign that converts viewers into players. Whether you're building a Web3 / NFT title, a casual mobile game, or a hardcore PC experience, I deliver visuals that feel native to your world and intentional in every pixel. I don't just make assets — I build visual languages. Your in-game HUD, your App Store icon, and your Steam capsule art will speak the same design dialect, creating brand consistency that players recognise and trust before they ever press Start. Having worked across PC, console, mobile, and Web3 game projects, I understand technical constraints, platform guidelines, and the business reality of shipping on time. My workflow blends UX research, interactive prototyping, and AI-accelerated concepting (Midjourney, Stable Diffusion) to hit creative milestones faster — without sacrificing craft on the final deliverable.

I'm a Level Designer with 3 years of professional experience creating gameplay spaces, routes, and worlds in Unreal Engine, Unity, and UEFN.
At My Whoosh, I designed and implemented large-scale cycling worlds and routes, including Arabia, AlUla, Colombia, Belgium, and MyWhoosh World. I also contributed to one of the key routes used in the UCI eSports World Championship, working closely with artists, programmers, and designers to create engaging player experiences.
Beyond professional work, I've collaborated with creators on multiple UEFN projects and continue to develop my own games in Unity. My current project is a 2.5D platformer inspired by classic games like Bounce, where I'm responsible for everything from level design and gameplay systems to tools development. To improve my workflow, I even built a custom 3D tilemap editor for rapid level creation and iteration.
My strengths include:
Level layout and player flow
Environmental storytelling
Exploration and progression design
Open-world and route design
Gameplay blockouts and greyboxing
Unreal Engine 4/5
UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite)
Unity
Rapid prototyping and iteration
Level design documentation and pipelines
I enjoy creating levels that guide players naturally through space while encouraging exploration, discovery, and meaningful decision-making. My design approach is heavily influenced by atmosphere, lighting, pacing, and the relationship between environment and gameplay.
