Horizon Venues 2.0

Lead Artist — Horizon Venues 2.0
Built the experience from the ground up: visual identity, environmental storytelling, and social atmosphere for live events, including Facebook Connect.

Platform Spatial Design

​I contributed to early platform exploration and spatial prototyping — iterating on venue layouts, architectural block-ins, and floorplan concepts to support both usability and spectacle.  Some of the elements that were explored included seating layouts, sightline and visibility, areas of interest, and spatial flow.

Lead Artist — WingStrikers
Joined mid-development as Lead Artist on one of the first internally developed Horizon games.

Environment & Lighting Direction

I revamped the lighting and atmospheric treatment across the full game map — refining mood, visibility, and gameplay readability while enhancing visual cohesion.
This included surfacing and coloring all environment assets using vertex techniques, balancing performance constraints with stylistic clarity.
