Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow is a narrative-driven stealth VR experience developed over two years. As Senior Level Designer, I owned and co-owned multiple missions from concept through to shipped content, balancing the unique challenges of VR including player comfort, sightlines, traversal, and performance. My work focused on creating open-ended sandbox spaces with believable environments, vertical exploration, and multiple approaches to every objective.

I designed and shipped around half of the game's missions, implemented core mission logic, and led development of the game-wide visual and audio occlusion systems alongside engineering. The role also involved close collaboration with narrative, lighting, and design teams to shape mission flow, enemy placement, and overall level quality across the project.

The Infinite Inside is a narrative-driven VR experience developed by Maze Theory. I worked as a Game Designer and Level Designer, contributing across level design, gameplay systems, and narrative implementation. My work focused on shaping player experience through pacing, interaction design, and close collaboration with narrative and art to deliver an immersive, story-led VR experience.

I contributed to level design and player flow across key story moments, rapidly prototyping mechanics with a technical designer. I collaborated with narrative designers on pacing, implemented gameplay logic and interactions in-engine, and iterated based on feedback and playtesting.

Peaky Blinders: The Kings Ransom is a Narrative driven action/adventure game. It follows it's own story set between seasons 4 and 5 of the main show. Players get to interact with the main cast through dynamic and interactive cutscenes, as well as explore the worlds of Industrial Birmingham, and the Docks of London.

I designed and iterated on stealth levels with multiple routes, from 2D planning to blockout and refinement. I collaborated across teams to align gameplay and direction, implemented in-engine logic, and refined the experience through playtesting, ensuring VR performance and comfort standards.
