I am a designer providing solutions for companies looking for UI & UX Design, and Branding services. I am a graphic and User Interface designer with an illustrative flair. My experience designing for mobile apps and mobile games tops up at about 10 years. I bring proven experience from a graphic design, user interface, user experience, and art production perspective. Throughout my career, I have worked for notable games companies in the US, designing UIs and provided graphic design for game apps running on iOS and Android devices. On these projects, I have utilized my experience translating complex user interactions into elegant, sleek designs that reinforce the brand – and that are fun too.
I have helped bring many high-profile mobile app and game titles successfully to market. From creating sketches, to pixel perfect mock ups, to the finished product – the skills and experience I developed working in California’s technology centers allow me to add value for my client’s user interface design needs and beyond. When working with a team of other artists and software engineers, I excel to realize the product’s full visual and entertainment potential.
