About Me

Quick Info:

I am very enthusiastic about games, I spend most of my time surrounded by games; either playing, creating or reading about them. I am primarily looking for a job as a level designer but I feel that my skills could be used in other jobs such as testing, level scripting or 3D artist. I am a creative person and have a strong passion for the computer games industry. I enjoy creating levels and I have a wide variety of skills using different types of editors. I play a wide variety of games on all platforms.
