In 2019, I won first place in the Level Design category in the Ubisoft Toronto NEXT competition.

​

My success earned me an internship at Ubisoft Toronto, where I am currently working as a Level Designer.

​

"Ubisoft Toronto NEXT is an annual competition designed to showcase the talent of video game development students in Ontario. Kick-start your career in the industry with a paid apprenticeship and spend the summer learning from the Ubisoft Toronto studio’s top talent."

For anyone entering a Level Design submission for Ubisoft NEXT in 2020 or beyond, check out the documents below to see what worked for me, it might help you in the competition. However, bear in mind that the challenge changes yearly, so my work will not 100% apply. Also, while I work at Ubisoft, I am not involved with NEXT, and I do not represent Ubisoft's opinion, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
