SLAYAWAY CAMP 2

Slayaway Camp 2 reimagines level selection as a fictional horror streaming service. I designed and implemented the UI/UX, visual identity, illustration, iconography, and much of the front-end experience across mobile, PC, and console.

THE LONG DARK

I led the UI design for The Long Dark, creating the art and layouts and implementing them in Unity as the game moved from Early Access to its 1.0 release. Over time, the interface became increasingly pared back, letting the environment and the player character communicate more of what the player needed to know instead of relying on traditional on-screen UI.

DRAGON AGE: INQUISITION

As Lead UI Artist on Dragon Age: Inquisition, I helped establish a cleaner, more austere interface for the series, spanning combat, inventory, dialogue, navigation, world systems, and iconography.
