About

Having dedicated over a decade to the game development industry, I've contributed to the creation of 9 published games across diverse platforms. With a Bachelor's Degree in Visual Design and a Game Art & Design Diploma, I use my skills to push for creative design solutions by: 💡 Defining the UX/UI Vision: I'm the user advocate, committed to shaping the user experience from concept to reality. I believe that creativity is essential for effective problem-solving. 📐 End-to-End Design: Actively shaping every aspect of the game development cycle, from information architecture and wireframes to user research, high-fidelity mockups, and implementation support. All while keeping the development pipeline in mind. 🎨 UI Art Direction: Having strong visual design skills and design principles for owning the UI art direction, ensuring consistency, and motivating the team to strive for the best final product. 🎓 Teaching: With more than 3 years of experience as a UX instructor, I'm passionate about teaching and sharing my design knowledge.

How I can help

Learning more about Ux/Ui in games. Communication across different disciplines, process, Ux/Ui team of one vs working on a big team. I was also a UX teacher for a few years.
