Hello!
My name is Esadecimale “Hex” Adams and I’m a Level and Game Designer living in Seattle who was formerly working at Bend Studio between September 2022 and February 2025.
For my whole life I’ve been enamored by the inherent wonder to the constructed and natural world all around us. This wonder has served me well as a level and game designer—roles where my entire job is to learn from that shared lived environment and to translate them into interactive levels along with their gameplay sequences all so that players can explore and enjoy that same feeling of inherent wonder and delight!
Thank you for checking out my portfolio; If you wish to contact me about my work or other opportunities, please checkout my contact page!
