My Road in World Design
As a passionate and experienced World Designer, I have spent my career crafting immersive environments and telling stories through gameplay. My journey has taken me from modding Morrowind and Age of Chivalry—where I first discovered the limitless potential of game development—to achieving my dream of working at Bethesda on Fallout 76 and Starfield, and beyond.
At Amazon, I led transformative projects that set new benchmarks for worldbuilding, including shipping the acclaimed Brimstone Sands zone, the Elysian Wilds zone, and the “Rise of the Angry Earth” expansion. I also spearheaded the first-time user experience for Console Launch in 2024, delivering innovative design solutions that elevated player engagement and retention. These accomplishments represent not just milestones in my career but also the culmination of my deep commitment to excellence in game design.
World design is where my passions for writing, worldbuilding, architecture, and geography intersect. I approach each project with an insatiable curiosity, diving deep into research and iteration to bring richly detailed, cohesive worlds to life. I believe every great design bears the marks of its evolution—its challenges, corrections, and triumphs—woven into its DNA.
The Broader Scope of My Skills
While my roots are in game development, the core skills I bring—visionary design, creative problem-solving, and cross-disciplinary collaboration—apply across all areas of technology and design. Whether building virtual spaces, crafting user journeys, or designing physical environments, I excel at creating cohesive, immersive systems that inspire and engage. My experience managing diverse teams and working at the intersection of creativity and technical implementation makes me uniquely suited for roles such as Design Manager, where the goal is to align vision with execution to build worlds together—whether digital, experiential, or otherwise.
As a storyteller by nature, I understand the importance of user-focused narratives and functional design in any medium. I thrive on tackling complex challenges, collaborating with innovative teams, and transforming abstract ideas into tangible, impactful experiences. My skills extend naturally into fields like UX design, architecture, virtual production, or any environment where systems-thinking, creativity, and leadership are required.
As a Lead World Designer or Design Manager, I bring a strong creative vision, meticulous attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset. My process is rooted in storytelling through environment and gameplay, bridging disciplines to create experiences that captivate and inspire players—or users of any product.
When I’m not designing, you can find me indulging my love for travel, exploring the outdoors, or finding inspiration through photography—all of which continue to fuel my creativity and passion for creating meaningful, immersive worlds.
Let’s build something extraordinary together.
