I craft game experiences where responsive controls and intuitive interfaces work together to create exceptional game feel and keep players fully engaged. By blending player research, rapid prototyping, and finely tuned feedback systems, I design mechanics and UI that adapt to each audience’s needs and deliver their ideal experience.

Technical Design

I approach Technical Design as the craft of transforming creative ideas into functional, polished gameplay through speed, precision, and adaptability. I focus on rapid prototyping, rigorous iteration, and tool creation that streamlines production and unlocks efficiency across the team. My aim is to design systems that are dependable, scalable, and empower every discipline to realize their ideas to their fullest potential.

Production

With a production background and experience leading multiple projects, I draw on my art, technical, and UX expertise to align teams and streamline workflows. My philosophy is that production isn’t just about schedules—it’s about fostering clear communication, trust, and focus so every discipline can contribute meaningfully toward a unified vision.

My Design Philosophy

As a UX Designer, Technical Designer, and Producer, I focus on responsive controls, clear and impactful feedback, and development processes that keep the player’s perspective at the center. As a Technical Designer, I value rapid iteration, prototyping mechanics, and creating tools that streamline production. As a Producer, I prioritize team cohesion, supporting morale, fostering healthy team dynamics, and maximizing performance. I’ve brought this philosophy to multiple shipped titles, two on itch.io, two on Steam, and two in the DigiPen Game Gallery, combining player research, prototyping, and cross-discipline collaboration to ensure mechanics are satisfying, systems are approachable, and games deliver the ideal player experience for each audience’s needs and wants.
