For the past 4 years I've been working as a level designer on a 3D platformer in Unity for both mobile and pc. I have generated ideas, designed and greyboxed at least 18 levels from scratch with fun puzzles, missions and enemy encounters. Video games and creating them are some of my greatest passions in life. I love a good open world game, some of my favorites being Skyrim, Baldur's Gate 3 and the Fable games. World building is one of the most interesting things for me. There's so much satisfaction going from ideas, to greyboxing and then seeing the world slowly coming to life. I worked very closely with both programmer and artists to design gameplay objects/mechanics, level design tools, dress up levels etc.
