About Me / Level Design
I adapted my product design background into level design, resulting in an experimentally iterative workflow with tons of prototyping to maximize player experiences and get the best possible outcome of every blockout decision.
As both a level designer and game writer, my level design is always made to enhance the narrative and focused on player-driven gameplay. I love designing experiences where people can have fun and enjoy it—whether playing by themselves, with others, or even by only talking about it to other people.
Core Skills
Level Design & Iteration: blockouts, modular design, low-poly assets creation, narrative alignment
Player-Centric & Story-Driven: intuitive navigation, visual storytelling, branching routes from narrative
Cross-Discipline Collaboration: simple blueprints, creative problem solving, concise documentation
Visual Polish & Atmosphere: 3D environments, cinematic lighting, simple post-process effects
Don’t Go Back | Original Project / Blocktober | Solo Developer (2024-2025)
Designed and iterated 5 high-tension psychological levels until polished state within October 2024
Built adaptable modular architecture with organized assets managements to minimized inefficiency
Revised the levels in accordance with narrative changes, assets availability & timeline constraints
Snow Church | Fan Project Spin-off of Control (Remedy Entertainment) | Solo Developer (2024-2025)
Expand existing IP tone by integrating original narrative & level design within franchise standards
Engine optimization through assets management, foliage reduction & level boundaries design
Tracked revisions and progression via Figma and Notion for clear & structured documentation
Future Siren | Original Project / Taksa Semesta | Solo Developer (2023-2025)
Designed three types of branching routes (combat, narrative, balanced) within one cohesive level
Designed enemies placements based on story pacing, branching difficulties & visual compositions
Created post-process effects & lighting transitions to integrate the narrative flow with the gameplay
Black Puddle | Original Project / Taksa Semesta | Solo Developer (2023-2025)
Translated the narrative into visual game beats, beat charts, area flowcharts & mission flow in Figma
Adjust materials, lighting & post-process effects to align with the visual board & emotional tone
Coordinated level design constraints & potentials with narrative to adjust the gameplay progression
Gamedev Experiences

Projects
Beside solo projects, I practice layout sketching to sharpen my instinct for crafting engaging blockouts. I enjoy exploring different design possibilities to achieve the best possible outcome.
I also did some reverse engineering analysis of published games to deepen my understanding of game development—game pillars, core experiences, level analysis, interesting aspects, etc. here are some of them that I did back in 2024:
