I’ve spent the last decade in the games industry, but I’ve never lost the curiosity that got me started.

I’m a "novelty chaser" who downloads every new game just to see how they solved the challenge of inventory management or to see how snappy their notification toasts are.

For me, the best part of playing a game is discovering those small details like a unique font choice or a unconventionally structured menu. 

With over ten years experience across web, mobile, console, and PC, I’ve learned to be flexible with tools and pipelines. I’ve been a "one-man department" in lean startups and a lead in massive teams, but I’m happiest when I’m collaborating with likeminded colleagues.

I truly enjoy the process of solving a complex challenge with an engineer or an artist to find an elegant solution that works for everyone.

My focus is on UI/UX and concept development, but I always strive for a holistic understanding of the product. I believe the best UI is the kind you don't even notice because it just feels intuitively right, and I love building the systems that make that possible.

In my recent roles I took on mentoring & coaching other UI / UX Designers and support them in their professional development.
