Hello! I'm Adam Shephard, an enthusiastic games designer graduate actively seeking a Level Design opportunity in the gaming industry. I’ve loved video games since childhood, especially racing titles such as Forza, Burnout, and Need for Speed, and I’m eager to translate that passion into real-world game design work. Over the years, my drive to play has grown into a studio-focused mindset: crafting engaging and immersive experiences, learning new tools such as Unity, Blender, and Unreal Engine, and contributing to team projects. I'm keen to learn, grow, and contribute to a collaborative studio environment.
