Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

Created a HUD wireframe and making sure I could instantiate it in the game scene. Next it's time to play with signals to update health. #UI #UX #Godot #wireframing #lowfidelitymockup

As I work on this game jam and was essentially ‘shoved’ (with love) into the UI Technical Artist role, I find myself getting more and more into it. Combining my love of being creative, programming, and UX. #UX #UI #Godot #GDScript #GameJam

My first game UI start screen. Godot makes it feel like I'm doing web design, but for a game lol
( I even figured out the signals and scripts associated with it )

For my second Case Study, I decided to tackle the unchanged Pokemon battle interface to minimize the pull from immersion.

Where do you expect the mini map to be on your screen when you play a game?

TOM CLANCY'S THE DIVISION UI Mission Example

The Division’s UI was one of my favourites. There was some accessibility issues I’d fix, like the white (hard to see when you were in front of a light background), but I loved the break from the ordinary.

Tried my hand at Godot and realized that is so easy to pick up with my background in Python.

So, I think I’ve decided to get my Master’s in Human Computer Interaction or HCI. However, I need to do it online. So, I’m looking forward to apply to ISU. I’m just nervous and a need to get funds/scholarships.
