Summary

I’m currently working as an Associate Level Design Director at Ubisoft Toronto on Far Cry 6. Prior to being a director, I was leading a team dedicated to Far Cry 6 Outposts. My previous title contributions include Far Cry 5, Far Cry Primal, Warframe, Halo 4 DLC, and Star Trek.

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