User Interface & Game Design

I have created user interface & experience mockups, designs, and assets for a variety of game projects, of which I worked on with fellow co-workers & students of varying other disciplines. I have worked with fellow UI/UX designers and designers of other disciplines, and have also worked as the sole UI/UX Design Lead on the team for certain projects. I have worked on areas of User Interface such as:

Main Menu & Sub Menu Designs/Navigations
Options & How to Play menus
Credits Menus
In-game Shop & Customization Menus
Player Heads Up Display (HUD) for a variety of perspectives, such as third person & first person
In-game tutorial, context, and dialogue prompts/messages
Custom font libraries to be used for in-game text

Listed below is work I have done for Deep Silver Volition, as well as some of the games I had worked on with teams of other game design students during my time at Bradley University. Take a look!

Apex Legends

After Volition was shut down, I was very fortunate to join Respawn Entertainment as a UX Designer for Apex Legends. As of January of 2025, I have been with Respawn for a year, with primary work solely on Apex.

During this time, I have shipped numerous amounts of content for each new season of Apex Legends, creating UX wireframes, mockups, and designs for a variety of different features - everything from new game modes, menus, weapons, and the Legends themselves.

Saints Row (2022)

During my time with Volition, I served as a UX/Game Designer for Saints Row (2022). I started out working closely with the Mission Design team, and provided both User Experience documentation/feedback, as well as in-engine work on various aspects of development, such as bug fixes, changes to elements within certain missions, and overall mission structure.

Post-launch, I was a primary UX designer for DLC content, quality of life updates, and additional mission design.
I created several wireframes, mockups, and performed usability testing for multiple new missions and activities.

Box Hunter

Box Hunter is a short first person shooter/horde mode demo game I created in Unreal Engine 5 while working for Volition, as the studio began to transition from the proprietary engine to UE5 for potential future projects.

I created the menu systems, tutorial sequence, artwork, AI behavior, and all of the gameplay for this project as a completely solo endeavor after only a few weeks of UE5 training.

Friendly Fire

Friendly Fire is a 3D, third-person perspective Platforming Adventure, in which you play a little fire sprite named Wick on an adventure within a large house.

I served as the Lead UI/UX Designer for this project and created most of the interface you see, however I also served as a concept artist, programmer, and level designer throughout the course of the project.

Neon Oblivion

Neon Oblivion is a 3D, first-person perspective platforming puzzle game, that combines a medieval fantasy setting with a vaporwave/synthwave/retro 80's aesthetic.

I worked as the sole Lead UI/UX Designer among a large team of programmers, designers, and artists. In addition to the interface, I also undertook organizing playtest sessions with a variety of playtesters, in order to ensure a user-centered design approach.

Untouchable

Untouchable is a 3D, first-person perspective platforming endless-runner game, in which you (the player) rotate the environment before you as you go.

I worked as the UI/UX Designer, as well as a VFX artist, and programmer for this project. This project differs from the others in that it serves as a gameplay prototype, and as such was given much less time to be worked on for the class deadline.

Behemoth Break

Behemoth Break is a 2D, side-scrolling platforming/breakout-inspired game, in which a wizard must protect houses from a ruthless dragon lurking below his very feet.

For this game, I served as the game's UI/UX Designer as well as artist, as there were only three people on this project, myself included. The game features a one player or two player mode, the latter of which allows one player to be the wizard, and the other, the dragon.
