About
Level designer building exploration-driven, narrative-focused spaces in Unreal Engine 5 — from graybox blockout through Blueprints prototyping to polished, playtested builds. I care about player flow, puzzle readability, and environmental storytelling: the details that make a space communicate without a line of dialogue. Alongside level design, I bring working fluency in 3D environment art and motion design (Blender, Maya, After Effects, Premiere Pro), so I can block out, dress, and pitch a space without waiting on a full pipeline.
Portfolio highlights include Echoes (first-person horror built around spatial tension and locked-door puzzle systems), NotSoPT (a P.T.-inspired psychological horror level built from whitebox to final implementation), and Guiding Tails (an exploration/emotional-adventure level with a reworked third-person camera and AI-driven world activity). Based in Bangalore.
