On the cars Playset for the launch of Disney Infinity I was the lead Level Designer. I spent time building out Radiator Springs and testing multiple cars and control mechanics for the gameplay. At one point we even had McQueen parkour'ing off walls of just about everything! After that was thrown out we found the model we liked, I built a block out that suited the cars and gameplay missions. Another designer took over the race tracks of Willy's Butte, along with a stunt arena and together we finished the play set. Cars was one of the highest selling Play Sets and my leadership role granted me a lot of freedom for creating some fun, compelling gameplay. We overcame the struggle to put a Cars avatar inside of Disney Infinity and made cars work in the Toy box!
