Hi, my name is James. I’m currently a Lead Tech UI Designer at Epic Games, working on Fortnite. Previously I shipped the AAA titles NBA Live 18, Madden 19-22, and MLB The Show 22-23. I graduated from the University of Central Florida studying Digital Media – Game Design in 2015. I was one of the founders and officers of the “GameDev Knights” game development club at UCF, the second largest school in the nation. I have game development experience using proprietary engines, Unity, Frostbite, and Unreal Engine.
I've been a gamer all my life and am passionate about the video games industry. UI has always been a great interest of mine, not just in games, so it was an obvious choice for me to pursue professionally. I aim to be an advocate for the player, creating great user experiences in the games I work on. My goal is to create UI that I'm not only proud of, but that I would love using as a player.
My personal interests beyond games include all kinds of media- I love music and catching all the latest movies. I'm also a foodie, finding great local places to eat is very important to me. Desserts are especially of interest, so if you know a good place for me to try, let me know!
