... a Senior UI/UX Designer in the Bay Area with 15 years of experience in product design and marketing. I've worked on mobile games of major IPs such as League of Legends, PUBG, Marvel, Star Wars, and more.
I relish wearing many hats and have touched many aspects of the products I've worked on, from wireframing the user experience, developing the visual style, designing mockups, and marketing graphic design. Though I enjoy all aspects of the design process, I particularly enjoy solving complicated problems to improve the user experience.
...as I graduated from UCLA as a Design|Media Arts major and started off as a Jr. Graphic Designer with Playdom/Disney Interactive. There I quickly grew into my role as the primary UI Designer on the mobile games team.
Next on my journey, I joined Kabam as a Visual Designer in the marketing/UA team in order to explore more facets of the mobile game world. I designed storefront assets, websites, and ads for a ton of amazing IP such as Marvel:Contest of Champions, Star Wars Uprising, Hunger Games, Lord of the Rings, and more.
I then spent almost 5 years at Tencent America as a UI/UX Designer working in highly collaborative roles to develop games such as PUBG Mobile, League of Legends: Wild Rift, and Apex Legends for mobile. I have had a lot experience with mobile works and at my most recent role at Echtra Games/Zynga/Take2, I was able to work on a nondisclosed triple A game.
I love being able to come together with members of different disciplines and create a product that gamers can enjoy. Every new project has been a learning experience and I hope to bring my expertise to my future roles.
...I enjoy drawing and crafting! Creativity is simply a really large part of my identity. In addition to creating my own original products, I also volunteer as a creative manager where I manage a team of designers to create all the visual assets for a large yearly convention that draws over 30,000 attendees.
