Working on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning's fantasy environments offered a lot of freedom, while also presenting the challenge of still making the world believable and cohesive within its own context.

In a game like this the world itself is a main character, with its own story and history to tell.  As World Designers it was our job to bring that to life.

I was responsible for terrain modeling, texture painting, high-level layout design and low-level asset placement, lighting, VFX, encounter design, gameplay pacing, and ultimately ensuring the environemnt supported the narrative.
