The Asemblance series offers first-person exploration and puzzle-based gameplay, which puts you at the center of the story's mystery. Through the use of an AI-guided memory machine you are able to visit simulations of recorded memories. The more you explore the memories, the deeper stories they tell… venture deep enough and unlock the buried puzzles and you just may learn the truth.

Destiny is a first-person action adventure video game set in a "mythic science fiction" setting. The game features a massively-multiplayer "shared-world" environment with elements of role-playing games.
Design Lead and Experience Director
During the production of Destiny, in additional to team development, I was responsible for the initial concepting of key gameplay moments and components, including the start of the game (used for the E3 reveal of the game) and the "public events" seen throughout the game which were designed to encourage strangers to play the game together in the shared public world. I also led the spatial and gameplay design of the full "Cosmodrome" destination, including the initial spatial concepting and layout.
Below is a video of the first mission of Destiny, an experience I was responsible for concepting and building. This experience is designed to introduce players to the world of Destiny and teach them how to play the game.
