GAME DESIGNER | LEVEL DESIGNER
HELLO!
You can call me Vishal. I am a game designer with three years of experience. I am currently a game development master's student at Savannah College of Arts and Design
My focus and interests are level design and game production. I enjoy building levels that seamlessly lead the player through the game while demonstrating the story and gameplay elements. I enjoy collaborating with individuals from various disciplines and fields to produce an amazing experience for players.
My skill set includes researching, sketching, creating block-outs, project management, and node-based visual scripting to implement systems in the levels I work on.
Graduating in Fall 2022, looking for an internship or possible work opportunities. Feel free to look around my portfolio to see what I've been working on.

WHY LEVEL DESIGN?
I was fascinated by video games as a child, and my fascination with how video games are created has only grown. Games have always provided a playground for me, And as a level designer, I am able to construct playspaces that provide people with the same entertainment and pleasure that I have while playing video games. I personally love level design because of the strong relationship between the craft has with the player. The space created by the level designer is immediately experienced by the player. Seeing the player's reaction is quite satisfying for me.
