ABOUT ME

Hi my name is Jacob Daniel Simpson!

​

I’m a high energy Level Designer who’s not just passionate about making great games, I want to break the barrier completely with my team and constantly push the limits of not just me but everyone around me.
I’ve proven to be an extremely hardworking individual who works not only to improve my skills and knowledge but actively work to help my teammates also.
Games aren’t made by a single person and working with other passionate people to make a brilliant experience is why I’m in this industry to begin with.

​

In my spare time I'm a competitive cheerleader! (Bet you didn't see that coming).

I also love training in Muay Thai and being active in general!

​

To boot I'm a massive social creature, I can talk you to death about almost anything and just love meeting and talking to new people in general!

​
