About Me

Picture of Garner Newton

Hi, my name is William Garner Newton. I am currently working at High Moon Studios as an Associate Level Designer on an unannounced project. My strengths lie in level and technical design.

I graduated of Purdue University in 2022 with a B.S in game design & development with minors in computer science and computer information technology. I have worked on multiple projects in different game engines, written in many programming languages, managed source control, and used development methodologies like scrum throughout my academic career. I am proficient in Unreal Engine 4 with a strong foundation in blueprints. Through my time designing, I have spent countless hours programming in object-orientated programming languages like Java and C#.

While I am still new to the industry, I believe I can apply the fundamental practices with my own creative twist.
