UI/UX Design Leader

I build the UI millions of players enjoy every day.

10+ years shipping UI for AAA and live-service games. I lead teams that bridge art and engineering, building UI systems that scale.

I lead a team of 8 UI Technical Designers, plus outsourced contractors, across Shop, Locker and Battle Pass. We implemented the new Battle Pass, which lets players unlock rewards in any order, and the Fortnite Crew revamp. I built many of those screens myself in Unreal Engine 5 with UMG and MVVM viewmodels.

About

I advocate for the player. I've been picking apart UI in products of all kinds since middle school. Today I lead UI Technical Design on Fortnite, building screens that feel great to use and systems that are easy to iterate on and expand.

I studied Digital Media – Game Design at the University of Central Florida, where I was a founding member and officer of the GameDev Knights club. Off the clock it's music, movies, and a constant search for great local food, especially dessert.
