You have a love and passion for working on level design and creating environments the player can experience in awe. You are experienced in working with Photoshop, Speedtree, audio, 3D, and Substance keeping highly organized assets properly stored and backed up. Skilled in Unreal Engine level design, sculpting terrain, following map layouts and designs, including the use of height and splat maps. You are a patient teacher of these skills to your team to help make each of them more productive.
