Which former CS:GO map designer is listed as a Valorant designer?

The former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive map designer listed as a VALORANT designer is Salvatore Garozzo.

Garozzo joined Riot Games after a career connected to competitive Counter-Strike. He was a professional player and became known for map design in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, giving him unusually direct experience with the spatial logic of tactical shooters. In VALORANT’s development credits, he is listed as a game designer alongside Trevor Romleski.

The answer is easy to confuse because the same credits list several other prominent developers. Moby Francke is identified as the art director, while Paul Chamberlain is listed among the programmers. Trevor Romleski is the other game designer named in the principal credits, but he was formerly a League of Legends designer rather than a CS:GO map designer.

VALORANT deliberately drew on traditions associated with Counter-Strike, including round-based attacks and defenses, an in-game economy, weapon recoil patterns, and bomb-site objectives. Garozzo’s background therefore fits the game’s tactical design lineage, but the question asks specifically for the credited designer with the CS:GO map-design connection.
