23 years of experience in the games industry - I started 27 years ago at age 15 with modding the original Unreal and I have been working with Unreal Engine and in the games industry since the age of 18.
While my original skill and greatest passion is world building and level design — particularly atmosphere, color, composition, and lighting. Over the past two decades, I have expanded into a uniquely broad range of disciplines, with extensive experience across a wide spectrum of game development and the wider games industry.
