Summary

A UX Designer focused on creating seamless, scalable systems that connect player needs with product goals through thoughtful interaction design and close collaboration with cross-disciplinary teams. With a background in Human-Computer Interaction, I take great pleasure in ensuring that game design feels intuitive, accessible, and rewarding for players.
