UI Art Portfolio
A great user interface seamlessly connects a player to a game. That is my primary focus in life, and in my career: connection. I believe everything is connected, we are all connected to each other and to the universe itself. My superpower, is being able to illuminate that connection. Subtly bringing the player into the game through my knowledge of the human psyche, emotions, and experience. Using color, shape, movement, and design to forget an intricate connection between the player and each game I have the pleasure of working on.
