About Me

​

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

​

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

 

During my Master's program, I started a weekly level design club, where I gave level design presentations and we gave feedback on level design. You can check out our Pinterest board of resources here.

​

I started my career at Avalanche Software working on Hogwarts Legacy, and my most recent job was with Obsidian entertainment where I shipped Avowed and was working on an unannounced project.
