About Me

Hi, my name is Lacey, and I am a Game & Level Designer

I am an award wining level designer with 2+ years of experience in the games industry. My world building and level design experience borrows from my masters’ degree in anthropology; the study of people, places, and culture are fascinating and have greatly influenced and enhanced my ability to design complex worlds.
