Meta Horizon Worlds

During my time on Meta Horizon, I leveraged my skills as a Level and Game Designer for nearly 15 years in the game industry to create exciting new layouts and script gameplay for several Horizon Worlds - working on multiple workstreams in different capacities, and contributing to teams in North America and Europe.

My contributions on this project:

• As the sole Level Designer on a cross-discipline Meta Horizon Experiences team, created layouts and game systems for Horizon Central, an island-based social space that is cross-play on VR, web browser, and mobile using a new proprietary Meta Horizon Engine

• Led a 15 person multidisciplinary team to create a new Multiplayer Arena Shooter, responsible for designing the map layout, weapons, and interactive elements like pickups

• Designed the layout and flow of the new Digital Store in Horizon Central where players can explore, socialize, customize, and purchase their avatar cosmetics

• Created POIs and scripted a new tutorial and features in Pets Park, a Meta 1st-party Horizon World where players emotionally bond, explore, and play with a digital pet – improving player visit rate by 25% and a 33% increase in time spent in VR metrics

• Leveraged my expertise in creating content for multiple game engines and closely collaborated with engineering, UX, and production teams to improve the proprietary Horizon editor, tools, and design pipelines – which are used by thousands of creators worldwide to develop and publish content on the Horizon platform

• Worked closely with art to establish layout metrics and distances that are comfortable for all supported platforms, with a focus on VR and mobile
