Epic Games Principal Level Designer

Riverside, United States

Summary

Currently I am Principal Level Designer at Epic Games. Previously I have been Principal Level Designer at Singularity 6, working on the wonderfully cozy Palia! I have 30 years of video game experience that includes 23 years at Blizzard Entertainment focused on World of Warcraft expansions. I joined Blizzard as an artist to work on Nomad which soon became World of Warcraft. I have since made significant contributions to every expansion as Lead Environment Artist and Principal Level Designer. During my tenure with Blizzard I have represented the company through PR events and interviews in Amsterdam, London, Cologne, Rotterdam and Singapore. As well as MC of BlizzCon and several art and design panels.
Prior to joining Blizzard, I served as Art Director and Lead Artist at Interplay (Fallout 1 and 2, Planescape Torment), Lead Artist at Ringler Studios (Shut Up and Jam, ESPN Sunday Night NFL, Brett Hull Hockey).
