My first HTML/React game! As the Design Lead, I worked on the game from the paper phase until the Global launch, designing the user flows, coordinating UI implementation, and everything in between.

Millennium Wars Mobile

2017 // Unity

This freemium mobile massive multiplayer strategy game was born out of complex research and economic cycle analysis. I designed new features, improved the design pipeline and workflow, and integrated more mobile patterns over time.

This arcade machine was the first company-wide prototyping testing facility with an integrated user feedback survey. Together with the research team, I established a company-wide internal playtest process for new games, which resulted in valuable user data that better informed our design decisions.

2015 // Unity

This Unity based freemium multiplayer RPG was released on mobile and web. I worked on both projects as the UX Designer, Tech Artist and Research & Development Lead for the web port with WebGL.

Working for several digital full-service agencies allowed me to improve my UX and Web Architecture skills. My focus was Web apps, B2B Corporate sites, and eCommerce platforms. Pitching, designing, prototyping, consulting, testing and improving was my main job. I also established two digital UX units during this time. And I won some prizes.

Visual design has played an important role in my life ever since I first used a computer. My passion for digital design has manifested in album covers for bands, contract work for big companies, and photography. I still love to work on various design projects in my spare time.
