I’m Jiawen Zhang, a level designer with a Master’s degree in Game Development from SMU Guildhall.​

​

I like building spaces that make players curious — a hallway that feels a little too long, a shortcut that rewards attention, or a combat setup that makes players stop and think, “Okay… what’s the plan?”

​

My work includes narrative quests, stealth levels, psychological horror, puzzle spaces, and racing tracks. I’m especially interested in player flow, environmental storytelling, and how level design can quietly guide players without making it feel forced.
