Bio
Andrew Pattinson
I have worked with Kory on multiple projects now and it has been an absolute pleasure. Kory is a designer that is highly creative, technical and works brilliantly in a team. His ability to create brilliantly fun and interesting gameplay spaces is one thing, but his understanding of the space and composition is also at an elite level. He is very quick to learn, has never been phased by a task and can master even the most archaic systems. He is a dream to work with, friendly, easy going and open to new ideas/feedback. One of the first names I look for when starting a new project!

Working with Kory was a truly great experience. I have fond memories of having a truly collaborative working relationship while working with him. He really set the benchmark of how Design and Environment art should function together. Being able to bounce ideas off one another and being able to prototype different gameplay elements at great speed was really brilliant. Kory is an indispensable part of any team able to lead and guide others around him. Not only does he have a great design philosophy, able to really fine tune the game play and the different events within the game, but he is also a great problem solver. His technical knowledge is brilliant too and he is able to do art as well as design! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kory and to work with him again.
