Rise of the Tomb Raider
Core project contributions...
Level Designer / Environment Artist | Crystal Dynamics | Proprietary Engine

Modular Construction: Spearheaded a construction technique — conceptually like Unreal Engine's level instancing — treating structures as reusable instances to populate Rise of the Tomb Raider's hub city, years before native instancing support
-
Systems Origin: Played a key role in developing a hex-based level assembly prototype for Rise of the Tomb Raider DLC — helping define gameplay placement and hex-to-hex connectivity rules — a concept later greenlit and expanded into Marvel's Avengers' live-service mission architecture
-
Mentorship: Mentored 3 junior environment artists through the studio's formal pairing program; each later advanced to Senior or Lead roles
-
Key Responsibilities: Traversal Design, Asset Creation, Set Dressing, Modular Kit Construction
