Bio
Chris Klein
When Tanner started working with us on Need For Speed: The Run as part of our embedded QA team, it was immediately clear that this was a guy you could count on to get things done. Over the years he has demonstrated technical aptitude working in engine and has shown the enthusiasm, passion, critical thinking suitable for a junior game designer. He has always conducted himself professionally while still bringing humor and fun to the workplace. Given the chance I am confident that Tanner would make a valuable addition to any design team.
Carter Shanks
Tanner is an exceptional designer and is a great addition to any team because of his positive attitude, passion for games, and skill for creating games. Tanner is quick to learn game editors and use them effectively to create unique and fun work that has great style and design.

Level Designer

Sep 2010 - Aug 2011
Worked as a Level Designer for a independent school project using Unity to create a visually stimulating environment using shadows as the main feature. Using collision on shadows, we create a innovative game where you must guide a small cat to it's destination, using the shadows that are created by adjusting the light on environment objects.
