About

I’m currently working as a Design Lead at Survios Inc. after shipping Alien: Rogue Incursion Part 1 and Alien: Rogue Incursion Part 1 - Evolved Edition as a Level Designer.

My journey with Survios started when I was hired as a QA Analyst, and I was embedded in the development teams for Alien: Rogue Incursion Part 1. I was able to quickly prove myself and showcase my skills making feature test maps and gyms, then scripting combat encounters and gameplay sequences in pre-production. I was then tasked with designing an internal demo, the success of which promoted me to Level Design. I planned and built the entirety of the game’s greyblock environments and shepherded a majority of them through to release within a tight production timeline, filling in as Level Artist, Narrative Designer, Tech Designer, and Combat Designer when necessary. I find there’s no shortage of creative challenges in making games, and no greater thrill than when it all miraculously comes together through teamwork and effort.

Previously, I was a Senior Test Analyst at Santa Monica Studio on God of War: Ragnarok. Former Development Support and Quality Assurance at Naughty Dog. I worked on The Last of Us Part II and had the honor of studying under some of the best designers in the industry. Before that, I spent two years at Bethesda Softworks as a Quality Assurance Tester, then Project Coordinator, working on titles such as Prey, The Evil Within 2, and Prey: Mooncrash. Seeking to turn my decade of experience in video game production towards the development of creative, effective levels for ambitious projects.

In 2016 I led a team of four students to the E3 2016 College Competition with our senior capstone project, Guinevere and the Fallen King. Worked as Lead Game Designer, Level Designer, Animator, Environment Artist, UI Artist, Character Artist, and Narrative Lead.

And as much as I enjoy game development, I have a passion for reading, writing, cooking, television, and film. I’m originally from Baltimore, Maryland, but have been living in, and loving, Los Angeles for the past eight years.
