On the multiplayer and live team, my work sat between franchise vision and what millions of players see every match: defining how maps, weapons, and seasonal content should look, then guiding art through production until it held up in-game.

Approach

Art directing Halo Infinite multiplayer

Multiplayer art direction at this scale is less about a single hero painting and more about systems — keeping dozens of artists, maps, and live drops aligned to one readable visual language while the game evolves season to season.

I helped set that language through the Infinite Art Index style guide, visual targets for core maps, and hands-on review of environment, prop, and weapon passes. When work landed in engine, I pushed clarity through before-and-after notes so lighting, materials, and composition read the way we intended at gameplay distance.

That loop — guide, target, review, refine — is how we kept Infinite multiplayer cohesive from launch through live operations.
