About Shane Canning

I have been working as a Level Designer for 18 years now! I have been responsible for full levels and have taken projects from start to finish multiple times. My last released work can be seen in Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart on PS5. I did two years of ramping up a new project at Square Enix, and am now at a new start up studio creating a new IP. Currently, I am laser focused on developing a new game with Ikumi Nakamura at her new studio with many other talented people from all over the world. As a core member of UNSEEN I am helping build the team as well as designing the game from the ground up. One of my favorite moments of my career so far, was seeing my level "The Raft" being showcased at E3 2018 during the Sony Showcase Demo along with a huge show floor exhibit for Marvel’s Spider-Man. I am dedicated to creating the best game spaces I can and my passion for this industry keeps growing. The best part about my job is being surrounded by such amazingly talented people everyday and constantly learning from them. This is the best industry and I hope to stick around for many many more years!
