I'm a AAA Systems and Technical Designer
that has spent my career creating and owning level, puzzle and player mechanics; assisting other developers and making side projects with a passion.
My path started with a production internship on Shadow of War, then a student capstone where I led a team through a multi-stage pitch process to ship The Cursed Revolver. From there: gameplay engineering on Hogwarts Legacy, and 8+ years on the systems and technical design team on God of War: Ragnarok and Laufey at Santa Monica Studios. I have experience leading cross disciplinary features through the entire life cycle of a project, evaluating scope risks, creating opportunities and aligning teams around a strong design rationale.
What stuck with me across all my experience wasn't any single decision, but the process behind the decisions — the small pieces of reasoning more experienced designers passed down to me. I believe this is one of the main skills a designer must have to be successful.
