Description
From 2024 to 2025 I served as a level designer at Mega Cat Studios for the game God of War: Sons of Sparta. As a level designer, I worked closely with the environment art teams to develop the look and feel of the various levels in the game, starting from early blockouts all the way to completion. I created environment layouts and parallax for background vistas and foreground elements, designed additional set dressing and props, and revised art as needed, including color corrections and scaling.
