Games Writing Portfolio

Westin Lee is a professional AAA games writer, screenwriter, and author based in Los Angeles. He tends to write sci-fi, action, and horror, sometimes with coming-of-age and comedy elements.

A scrappy urban adventurer from the sweltering Houston suburbs, Westin studied film and dodged hurricanes at Full Sail (Orlando), performed comedy in smoke-filled Turkish cafes (Berlin), and embarrassed himself in front of executives from multiple Fortune 500 companies (New York, Las Vegas, Palo Alto).

Narrative Design and Writer

Westin’s role at Techland evolved rapidly, as he took on ownership for all Side Quests on the project, with an enthusiasm and dedication that went far beyond his initial responsibilities. He not only wrote and refined numerous missions but also excelled in project management, building comprehensive spreadsheets to track our extensive workload. His strong collaboration with Level Design reflected his ability to work seamlessly across different domains, unifying creative and technical aspects. Westin’s talent, attitude, and work ethic make him an asset to any team, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to any future employer or collaborator.
