LEVEL DESIGNER

​​​​​​​​

ROAD TO GAME DEVELOPMENT

I grew up with the best "gamer parents", who helped me in Ocarina of Time before I knew a word of English. As a child I loved watching hours and hours of Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

Lord of the Rings were my favourite bedtime story and I've always been obsessed with maps. 

​

Can clearly remember a curiosity for level design spark with

Burning Crusade, Assassin's Creed 2, Witcher 3.

But I had no idea Level Design was a viable career.

​

Instead I studied carpentry and music, and graduated the Swedish firefighter Academy in 2013. Nothing felt truly right.

​​

A friend of mine worked as Technical Animator at Massive Entertainment and introduced me to The Game Assembly, an internationally top-rated game development education

in southern Sweden.

2018 I secured one of 14 spots for Level Design.

DESIGN EDUCATION

At The Game Assembly our time were divided 50/50 between discipline-specific coursework and group collaborations with other disciplines.

Our groups were meant to mimic the work environment of real studios, each including 2 Level Designers, 3 Technical Artists, 3 Animators, 3 Graphic Artists and 5 Programmers.

​

Using self-built engines and tools, my peers and I created 48 short but fully playable game experiences from pre-production to polished products.

​

I had the opportunity to attend 3 Game Jams during my education. 

Coffee Stain Studios rewarded us "Best Non-goat-sim".

King Digital Entertainment rewarded us "Best Game Feel".​​​​​​
