I am versatile, a problem solver and I love a good challenge. I have been in the industry for 10+ years and shipped 3 AAA titles (Mafia 3 as a Tech/ Environmental Artist and Dead Space 3 and Hunted: The Demons Forge as a Level Designer). I have a Bachelors Degree in Video Game Art & Design from the Art Institute of Los Angeles, where I excelled in Level Design, Scripting and Prototyping. My degree and my thirst for knowledge led me to learn many other positions and programs, my well rounded knowledge and my positive attitude allows me to communicate across the different disciplines clearly and easily. I am currently working on an IP for mobile devices using Unity and Google Cardboard. I love to create games that push the envelope, are user friendly and fun.
Thank you for your time, Joshua J. Carlos
