Summary

I’m currently working as a Level Design Director at Ubisoft Toronto on Splinter Cell: Remake. Prior to being a director, I was leading a team dedicated to Far Cry 6 Outposts, Treasure Hunts and the Open World. My previous title contributions include Far Cry 5, Far Cry Primal, Warframe, Halo 4 DLC, and Star Trek: The Video Game.

My interests going forward are to build and maintain strong, passionate teams built on agency, ownership and autonomy. I believe games are meant to be fun to build and play.
