ABOUT ME

Hello! I want to be a generalist designer or a UI designer.
I feel like I can be an asset to any design team as I am on track to get a first on my design degree. I also have a background in programming. I have experience in Unity, and I am proficient with Adobe Illustrator.

Some of my responsibilities involved conceptualizing games, as well as giving input in other games, creating UI (as well as prototypes and workflows), art/animation assets, game narrative, as well as overseeing a small team of junior/placements.
I designed my Beta Arcade game, which included combat system (including two unique skill trees with active and passive abilities), experience progression (including weapons/armour and enemies), boss fights with different stages, user interface, level design, between other things.
