Meta Horizon Worlds

Currently leveraging my skills as a Level and Game Designer for 14 years in the game industry to create exciting new layouts and gameplay for Meta Horizon Worlds.

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 

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

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

• 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 

• Created POIs, and scripted a new tutorial and social features in Pets Park, a Meta 1st-party Horizon World where players adopt, emotionally bond, and play with a digital pet, significantly improving overall monthly and daily retention metrics
