Alone in the Dark

What Did I Do?

As Senior Art Director of Alone in the Dark, I led a team of 15 junior artists in the creation of high-quality props, ensuring they met the visual standards and thematic consistency essential to the game’s atmosphere. I was also responsible for lighting the final game and guiding a junior artist in mastering Unreal Engine 5’s lighting tools. Collaborating closely with THQ Nordic, I contributed to lighting experiments and participated in final art review sessions, aligning our team’s output with the client’s creative vision.
