As fun as games are to play, I'm far more passionate about creating them.

​

My name is Andrew Shields and I am a level designer who just graduated from the Game Design program at Vancouver Film School where I won two awards for ‘Best Machinima’ and ‘Best Flash Game’.  I was also nominated for the 'Best Board Game' award and 'Best Final Project' award.  I have always been very passionate about games, and as fun as they are too play, I find more joy in creating them. What I love most is that as the level designer it is my responsibility to teach players how to play the game, create the right pacing, and introduce players to the world – it truly is a fascinating process. As a recent graduate, I am looking for a level design position where I can continue to pursue my passion for games in a studio that recognizes creativity, hard work, and utilizes a team approach to game development.

I have many interests other than games but my favourite activity is playing team sports.  I have always been very athletic and have played basketball, soccer, and baseball for many years.  I also enjoy playing guitar, reading books that have been written by a great storyteller, watching and critiquing the storyline of movies, spending time with friends and family, camping and hiking in the great outdoors, or enjoying a big cup of coffee or tea – nothing better.
