Former Madden (Live) Lead Visual Designer - EA Sports
Honolulu, United States

Summary

With 10+ years expertise in visual and experiential design, crafting user interfaces for games and apps. My career began focused on just UI visuals. Now my UI contribution is always tempered with deep UX considerations. I am a strong UX Designer, capable of backing up the visuals. I also have experience leading a team, as former Lead Visual Designer for EA Sports. My management style is highly adaptable, and can gel with all company cultures. I’ve thrived in start-up indie studios, to medium and large publishers.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I've worked for a decade+ professionally for mid-large corporate studios like EA, Disney and Telltale Games. But my roots lie in indie game dev and aiding small studio/startups with my UI/UX Consultation and Design services.

Whether it's a second eye on early prototype wireframes for your app or game, or you'd like me to create the actual art assets themselves...I've experienced UI/UX and Graphic Design from top-to-bottom, inception to ship, and can help you/your team reach your goal from any stage of development, to any end.

Rates are competitive and locked in, but completely negotiable based on your needs. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any inquiries.

MAHALO!

PS. I also do concept art, illustration and logo design!
