Game & UI/UX Development
I'm a Swiss Army knife that can jump into contributing across implementation, asset creation, UX/UI, game design across concept/prototyping/production to successful launches across +7 box console titles and +6 Live Mobile & PC titles.
​
I got my start as a 3D Artist & Animator, but quickly grew into Game Design, and eventually UI/UX where I saw both disciplines intersect.
