Journey
I am a product designer that loves to help bridge together creativity, design, functionality, and strategy with each problem that needs a sound solution. I believe that technology is also important in the journey as a designer to keep well informed and provide best class user experiences. I have over 15 years in the design experience, 9 years of that spent in the gaming industry. Games I have found truly connect players all over the world just by finding the same passion in playing something together. Working on games has been fast paced and high energy, with its challenges of meeting the needs of our players at every turn.
In my professional years of designing, I've been an Individual Contributor, Full stack Designer, Lead, and Visual Designer. I've worked with different types of teams both small and large. I am not afraid to push boundaries when a design calls for it. I feel that designing outside the box can formulate more ideas, with it being easier to scale back if needing to this way.
