I create virtual experiences

Hi, my name is Tea.

I'm an aspiring indie game developer with a focus on storytelling and level design.

I've also worked for a couple of advertising agencies as a web designer, like treestate.

Worlds I created for fun

I created over 20 standalone game levels in Source. The older ones are available on the Portal 2 workshop, the newer ones at Map Labs. Here is a small selection:

This was the best essay ever.
