About

Hello! I’m a Senior UX Designer from the San Francisco Bay Area with a background in UI Art. I’ve been in the games industry since 2011, starting as a UI Artist before transitioning into UX Design.

I have a background in animation and visual effects but along the way, I found myself drawn to UI and UX—where art, interaction, and player experience all come together. 

Over the years, I’ve worked on a variety of projects, collaborating with teams to solve design challenges and make games more fun and accessible. 

When I’m not designing, I am planning future travels, learning about different cultures, and spending time with my dogs.

My ideal Team

I thrive best on teams that share a genuine love for both playing and creating games. For me, the best work happens in a collaborative, creative environment where everyone is focused on building something great together. I’m not one for office politics—I prefer to put my energy into solving design challenges, refining player experiences, and contributing to a team that values creativity, problem-solving, and a shared passion for making amazing games
