As further education through Jam City, I took a Level Design course at Gnomon University in which I created level blockouts/greyboxes in Unreal Engine. For these levels, I focused on traversal mechanics while hitting specific story beats in a variety of interior and exterior environments including a hotel, an apartment, city slums, and an abandoned mansion.
