Profile

​

Senior UI technical designer and UI technical artist with 12+ years of experience spanning game UI, live-service features, rapid prototyping, and multidisciplinary production design. I bridge UX, visual design, implementation, documentation, and content pipelines to transform ambiguous feature goals into functional, shippable player-facing UI.

 

Key Achievements (Bungie)

• Shipped UI feature work across four major Destiny 2 expansions and supported Eververse commerce, timeline, and event-facing features.​

  • Contributed to a complex refactoring of the Reward Pass to permit additional reward track progression with more rewards.​

    • Added the "Act Structure" for the final shape to allow the season progression to be more immersed in the events of the major expansion narrative.

    • Introduced a system that allowed players to continue to earn beyond the end of a season in the form of Engram accrual that, once earned, would grant rewards from a pool.

  • Expanded the Timeline screen to permit continued growth, especially beyond The Final Shape as Destiny 2 continued to explore more releases.

    • Continued exploration in how we present the expansion nodes to the players for greater understand of the timeline, review of vaulted content markers, and higher fidelity visual representation.​

• Led technical design for Destiny Announcements, a long-awaited player messaging feature.

  • Was able to bring Destiny Announcements, and inbox-style message center that was a long requested feature by players.  ​

  • This feature is able to lower the friction by placing messages, that would normally be closed quickly, into a message center for later review.​

  • It also reduced friction by, at times, greatly reducing the amount of pop-up messages that were received when launching into the game so players could get right into the action.

• Wrote and maintained documentation that exposed UI inconsistencies and helped drive more cohesive player-facing features.

  • Created a comprehensive case study of the Marathon front-end UI and documented all cases of UX diversion or inconsistency following the debut launch.​

    • Used this study to inform bug tracking, feature revision, and in some cases systemic refactors.

• Reduced bottlenecks by moving comfortably between UX, art, data, scripting, bug triage, and implementation.

  • I am able to wear many hats with backgrounds that include:​

    • 2D UI art design and optimization in Illustrator and Photoshop.​

    • Reviewing C++ code to inform a system or component functionality. (Disclaimer - I am not a coder/engineer but I can often discern important factors in code).

    • When it was needed, I was able to step in and assist with the actual UX framing and wireframes to expedite or pivot on designs when it was critical to do so.
