25 years in Tech & Design have shown me beyond a doubt, that success comes from more than great tech; It comes from delivering value to the customer at every step. It’s about respecting their expectations and delivering compelling spaces to spend time & money. You get there by building a team that can build, unburdened of fear, inertia & habit.
I’ve spent the last 17 years working on AAA blockbuster games for the biggest brands and IPs on the planet. I’ve built UX solutions for 30+ games and products across all mainstream consoles, mobile, Web + Web3, delivering Billions of dollars in value.
I’ve built multiple high performing design teams from scratch and created strategies that can overcome common frictions that prevent teams from becoming efficient & potent, so you can focus on building amazing worlds, with confidence that your users will receive it as intended. I want to support the industry; when it thrives, so do we.
Success in the videogames landscape has never been so challenging. As success is measured by higher and higher benchmarks, the risks associated with launching a product that doesn’t connect with its audience have never been more punishing.
To be successful in this competitive, attention based, trust based market today, UX simply has to be more than an afterthought or veneer; It has to be the literal interface where both product and user showcase the best of themselves.
A strategy that aligns your design intention with player expectations is critical!. Every advantage counts, and better UX is the key to better performance. The market is demanding to be heard, and have the sophistication to be discerning.
If there’s ever been a time to invest in design leadership, it’s now.
