NHL Blast was a live Roblox experience developed around seasonal campaigns, live events, and ongoing content updates.

I worked as Art Lead across approximately one year of production, supporting multiple live content releases while maintaining visual consistency across environments, UI, campaign assets, and gameplay spaces.

The project combined 3D environments, event-driven visuals, UI implementation, and VFX — all designed to capture the energy and recognisability of the NHL brand within Roblox’s technical framework.

The Challenge

Unlike a fixed-scope launch project, NHL Blast operated as a continuously evolving live environment.

Each update needed to feel fresh and campaign-driven while still fitting cohesively within the established visual identity and gameplay systems.

Key focuses included:

  • Maintaining visual consistency across live updates

  • Supporting rapid production and deployment cycles

  • Adapting art direction for seasonal campaigns and events

  • Balancing performance constraints with visual quality

  • Ensuring scalability across evolving content releases

Because content was delivered continuously, speed, communication, and maintainable workflows were critical throughout production.

My Role as Art Lead

Live Visual Direction

  • Maintained and safeguarded the project’s visual identity

  • Ensured cohesion between legacy content and new releases

  • Adapted visuals to support evolving campaign themes

Multi-Disciplinary Production

  • Created 3D assets and environment content

  • Supported UI implementation and campaign visuals

  • Contributed VFX for seasonal and event-driven content

Workflow & Collaboration

  • Collaborated closely with design, development, and production

  • Supported art workflows across shifting production cycles

  • Helped maintain scalable pipelines within a live-service environment
