Game Designer
Projects
I designed the levels, environments, and encounters for Knightlight, a fast-paced combat game. Players journey through a beautifully crafted small town, rescuing townsfolk from nightmares. The levels were designed and built using Maya and Unreal Engine.

Cardinomicon
I designed the game system and card library for the card battler Cardinomicon. Unlike typical card battlers, in Cardinomicon, creatures and spells are cast directly from the player’s avatar onto a game board. The game was developed using Unity 6 and Google Sheets.
I was the design lead and level designer for Fly By Knight, an action-platformer featuring a nonlinear level structure. The game emphasizes exploration and challenging jump puzzles. Fly By Knight was developed using Unity.
