About You

You are a Product Designer designer with an emphasis on clear, clean, and fun interactions. You see design as a series of never-ending questions. Asking, “Do you like this? Does this accomplish your goals? Does this make your life better in some way?” You are a true UX practitioner. A process nut. You are creative, intuitive, and always learning.

Ideally, you have an interest in providing a healthy way for users to escape the stress of the day through games. You may be an avid gamer. You value ownership and responsibility. You are a team player. You leave your ego at the door.
