Sam Pickard - Games & Level Designer
I am a Games Designer with a particular love of Level Design with skills in other areas of design.
I am passionate about creating engaging spaces for players to enjoy whilst also crafting those small memorable moments within that can give players that little bit of extra to captivate them. I have applied this to my work on a BAFTA nominated game that reached over 50 million players
I am a highly co-operative individual, working well within teams to create designs that have other departments needs in mind. I am also an eager champion of the creation and upkeep of clear and informative documentation as I find that it always helps better communication around game features for entire teams.
I am currently looking for a role to help expand my skills whilst helping to create new stimulating experiences for players to enjoy.

I worked as a Level Designer on Temple Run: Puzzle Adventure from Sept 2019 - Oct 2020 creating many of the 1000 Match 3 levels featured in the game
