About Me

​

Hi! I'm Tyler McCombs and I'm a level designer! 

​

Former English and Creative Writing teacher, just got my Master’s in Game Design at the University of Utah's EAE program with an emphasis in Level Design.
 

I’m running a weekly level design club, where I give level design presentations about principles like lighting, shape language, architectural history, and how to prepare for and apply for jobs. We're on hiatus right now due to Covid-19, but you can check out our Pinterest board of resources here.
