Snowpainters is a kart racer for the PC in which players play as penguins sledding on their bellies all through the arctic circle against other players or AI. Featuring a variety of penguin species, hats for penguins, four levels, two game modes, and a fully unique soundtrack; Snowpainters is fun for the whole family.

Level Designer
As one of eight level designers, I drafted and implemented the pickup placement in Track 2, collaborated with the primary designers of each track to refine their tracks, refined the collision in all four tracks, and set up conveyance flags in all four tracks.
​
Tech Researcher
I was one of four designers assigned to researching the MRT spline tool, which the team used to create our tracks after our recommendation.
​
It was my responsibility to train other level designers as well as artists in the tool's use.
Quality Assurance
I reported 45% of all bugs from our entire team, and I was the final line of defense when it came to collision errors or functionality bugs.
​
Fun fact: my hands were the last ones in the editor before Snowpainters shipping, fixing one last collision error.
