Worldbuilding is the crossroads where multiple disciplines interact and merge into a living breathing world. I work with 3D Environment Artists, 3D Prop Artists, and Dungeon Artists to use what they make and create the zones we see in World of Warcraft. I work closely with Quest Designers to create spaces that they need to make the amazing questlines and stories the players enjoy!

Zones are also not just the creation of an individual worldbuilder - We collaborate with World Designers & World Artists (like myself!) to build and connect the zones from the smallest camp to the largest city! From the bustling Campaign hubs to the loneliest beach. We make sure there is a place for everyone and everything. Even if there is no quest involved in an area, the world is treated like a living ecosystem with it's own subtle storytelling.

We work like a typical industry Environment Artist in regards to worldbuilding - hand place every object, sculpt & paint the ground and mountains, and lighting the local spaces.

We also work like a level designer - shape the flow of one space to another and build the environment to support gameplay. Hope you enjoy!
