Collaborated with art departments to ensure a smooth player experience
Led blockout to kit pipeline for one kit type
Worked closely with narrative to ensure impactful moments had a relevant place, and pacing worked with narrative structure
Prototyped spaces in pre-production

Iterated based on feedback, and provided feedback to others
Worked within constraints such as: reusing environments, retrofitting layouts to have new purposes
Traversal areas for reward and pacing
Applied guidance techniques to enhance navigation and players spatial awareness
Helped to establish metrics
Gained experience in designing varied player journeys across interconnected spaces

Combat encounters
