Scraps — Blockmesh Level Design

A post-apocalyptic block mesh level built in Unreal Engine 5 inside Full Sail University's Scraps Project framework. Designed an arctic abandoned research facility around a custom breaker mechanic that controls power to doors, platforms, lights, and hazards throughout the level. Taught the mechanic across three IPM sequences — Introduction, Practice, and Mastery — embedded within six total action blocks, supported by a full pre-production pipeline including PureRef research, a pitch deck, a beat chart, and Perforce version control.
