Environment Artist - Open World & Scene Composition Team - Fable @Playground Games

Leamington Spa, GB

As part of the Fable Open World and Scene Composition team at Playground Games, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to the development of immersive environments, focusing on region development, set dressing, and environmental storytelling.My role involved planning and whiteboxing large sections of the open world, with a strong emphasis on composition and player navigation through three-dimensional space. This work was highly collaborative and iterative, requiring close coordination with Level Design, Technical Art, and Lighting teams.I also took areas from early concept to final art, including terrain sculpting, geology, foliage, set dressing, and integration of our proprietary Procedural Biomes system. My main focus areas were settlements and Points of Interest, helping bring meaningful and visually engaging locations to life within the game world.Throughout my time at Playground, I’ve been recognized for my positive attitude, passion for the IP, and proactive approach to learning and collaboration. I\'ve grown significantly both creatively and technically, and I take pride in delivering high-quality, thoughtful work that enhances the player experience.
