As a Technical Designer, I focused on level design while supporting our smaller team in additional roles. I collaborated closely with programmers to ensure gameplay mechanics aligned with design intentions and worked alongside another designer to bring levels to life. Crafting engaging, accessible puzzles was a rewarding challenge, as was using a modular kit and art assets to create an immersive underground theme. Beyond design, I leveraged my Premiere Pro skills to create a trailer that generated excitement and intrigue for the project.

Leveraging the strengths of my teammates, we brought these ideas to life, resulting in a memorable and interactive player experience.
