Hey there!
I’m Theodore and I’m a level designer.
Games have been my biggest passion since I was a little boy playing Donkey Kong 64.
Now I’ve been developing games for over 7 years now, working on AAA releases, client based and personal projects.
The following is a recollection of the my work and achievements during this time.
