My name is Elliot Celion and I am a level designer studying at The Game Assembly in Stockholm!

 

I’ve always loved creation. Growing up, I made short films and YouTube videos, drew board games, played with Legos, and attended creative workshops.

​

My biggest dream has always been to work with something that combines my two greatest passions: games and design. Level design has been a hobby of mine for as long as I can remember. I’ve built levels in creative games like Minecraft, Garry's Mod, and Scrap Mechanic, and in game editors such as LittleBigPlanet, Secret Neighbor, and Halo Forge.

​

When I was 12 years old I discovered the Hammer engine and started making Counter-Strike: Global Offensive maps for me and my friends. That was the point where I truly fell down the rabbit hole of level design. I started watching videos, reading papers, and drawing top-down layouts in my spare time. Creating maps, playtesting with friends, figuring out what worked and what didn’t, and going back to the drawing board.

​

When I graduated high school, I stood at a crossroads: either pursue my interest in architecture or travel deeper down the rabbit hole. I’ve never regretted my choice for a single second.
