Magma Forges (Traditional 3D action adventure level design)
Magma Forges is a personal level design project I have worked on briefly during my free time in 2023, using the knowledge I acquired as a professional level designer to try and make a the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time-like dungeon.
In the video below I explain a bit more of the process of how it went.

WREST (VR Level Design)
In the video below, I explain my work as a level designer in the game WREST, available on Steam. I explain the process of doing my three main duties in the game: Sketching and iterating the level on graph paper and then creating the whitebox in unity, placing the base geometry on the whiteboxed level, and then placing trigger boxes and other elements of the event system to add functionality to the level.
Space Tax (2D Modular/Procedural Level Design)
Space Tax is an endless mobile game where you have to harness the power of the wind to keep moving up. I needed a way to easiliy make levels using unity’s tile based system, so I used a few tricks and developed a few tools to help me with the level desing process.
VR Prototyping
Not strictly level design, but if you would like to see my VR prototyping abilities, you can watch the video below to see me documenting parts of a VR prototype I was making in 2019. I made this video to show it to an artist friend in order to ask her for a commission on some concept art. The video shows the prototype quite well.
I have also worked on different smaller (prototype/game jam) projects as a level designer.
Up, Up!
Up, Up! is a mobile endless game prototype where you have to fight gravity and avoid spikes to go as high as possible. The levels are procedural but chunks connect seamlessly with each other while a difficulty manager controls how difficult the chunks are going to be, depending on how high up you are.

At the start of the game, just put anything in the input box (that just collects your name for the leaderboards)
Tiny Acres
Tiny Acres is a simple idle game where you collect multiple resources and craft little tools to collect more resources and slowly upgrade your house. The level is 2D and pre-built, horizontally scrolling with parallax effects.
