Game Design / Level Design since 1998

I’m Brian. I have love for rock-and-roll, against-the-grain pragmatism which has guided me in creating novel experiences for some of the most well-known videogames.

Across my 15 years in the videogame industry, I’ve worked as a game designer & level designer with heavy emphasis on scripting. Within a small team, I’ve lent my hand towards 2D UI too. My most recent release has been Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, followed by Lone Echo & Echo VR which gave me a considerable amount of VR design experience over the last few years.

I’m now rolling off of a multi-year project of mine named PaperCut!, a mobile ‘micro-MOBA’ which has allowed me to start Unknown Angles LLC as it grows and moves on to be pitched.

Besides my professional work, I’ve been involved in various modding communities since 1998. I’ve helped create some fan favorites like Sven Co-op, to which I’d officially contributed with character models, and Provenance, a solo-developed Half-Life 2 single-player mod which received positive reviews.

Besides videogame design, my interests are in playing music, reading about physics, and going on adventures with my dog, Olly. Thanks for visiting!
