In my current role, I've been a member of the Hub/World Design department since the beginning of 2015. At TT Games Studios, this department works on the conceptualisation and implementation of the open-world areas found within LEGO games.
Alongside the conceptualisation, design, and implementation of events within these hubs; my duties extend to overall management of hub areas including advising on layout and use of locations, set-dressing, direction on content implemented by technical artists, and addressing bugs found by our QA department.
