I’m Alex Haworth, an Environment Technical Artist. I’ve spent 18+ years building game worlds in AAA, indie, and VR, including Halo 4, Call of Duty, The Witness, and Farpoint. At Apple, I built the procedural pipeline (Houdini/PDG, USD) behind every immersive environment on Vision Pro, and presented “Optimize your custom environments for visionOS” at WWDC 2025.
My work covers environment art, shaders, procedural systems, and pipeline optimization.
Open to environment art and technical art roles.
