I am a Video game UI/UX Designer, welcome to my portfolio!

UI/UX

My main UI/UX experiences are for games. I started my career in graphic design and UX by designing and developing websites.

Front end UI/UX - Minecraft Legend

Role: UX Designer, Implementation, UI
I worked about 2 years on Minecraft Legends, to support accessibility, cross platform play compliance, and DLC.
My primary design and prototyping tool was Figma. After the low fidelity mocks were approved, I worked in tandem with our 2 UI artists to produce high fidelity. The dev team then proceeded to implement the logic and I'd join their branch later on to update the CSS/React and reach the final look in engine.

Text to speech flow

Minecraft legend supports English TTS on its golden path and player to player communication, in accordance to Microsoft accessibility requirements.
I broke down sections on the game with similar screen structure and provided guideline on how best to narrate the screens for sight or reading impaired users. I researched best practices and defined with the dev team on technical compromises with the least impact on the player. It was challenging to build this retroactively, and this gave me insight on how to think about accessibility early on.

Feature flow mapping - Party in my Dorm

UI flow prototyped with Adobe XD Combination of wireframe and mock ups, used to test the overall flow of the "Rate my Room!" feature before further detailing. 2020

Mobile Game UI - Party in my Dorm

UI for PIMD: Profile, Competition system, Timer speed up screen
In above example, the profile screen had been designed by the previous UI/UX Designer working on PIMD, but only implemented on Android Studio. I decided to learn to use XCode to update the profile on iOS and then proceeded to iterate changes on iOS and Android versions.
The second screenshot is a feature I designed, Extracurricular (or XC). This feature is based off the Competition backend service used for another ATA Game. We decided to add it to PIMD as it was a great way to deliver objectives and train Game Designers to a unify data system.
The third screenshot (on the left) is a smaller feature allowing players to speed up timer items (boxes or pet) using speed up items. The optimal quantity to use for a given speed up appears whenever the player presses Use 1.

Mobile Game UI - Kitty Journey

Role: Art direction at V11 Studio Game. Environment concept arts, UI art and marketing art. I conceived all the layouts in photoshop, using wireframes provided by the UX designer. I made the icons in 3D, rendered them and painted over in photoshop to fit the interface. 2017

Mobile Game UI - Kingdoms at War

Features never implemented as the project scaled down resources.
On the left, allow players to manage public chat channels: hide/show, order.
On the right, research to revamp player profile - internal and external - and allow for more personalization. I prototyped the navigation with proto.io.
Kingdom at War is an old mobile city builder/war game, text and interface heavy, created in 2009. There was multiple challenges to this project, such as a navigation different between the android and iOS projects, as well as a PC version at the time (support has been dropped since). The community is still very attached to the game, it was fun to design for them.

Shindra - comic and card game

Joomla website for a friend. I had to make a template from scratch, that would have a three column mode for most pages, and a single column with navigation for the comics part, the idea being to ease the reading as much as possible. Visit the website
