Description
of my perfect job:
I enjoy working very closely with a client or team so that the
message is communicated in the best possible way. Spending time
learning and understanding the objective of the project so the
project will come in on time, and meet its goals. I believe a
good idea executed perfectly is far better than a great idea hastily
put together at the last moment.

Planet Moon Studios |

My job is to concept, develop and produce user interface designs for games using proprietary tools as well as Photoshop, Illustrator, AfterEffects and Flash/Scaleform. My work includes all levels of design as well as some Actionscripting. Projects include EA's Smarty Pants for the Nintendo Wii, Brain Quest for the Nintendo DS and Sierra's Brutal Legend action adventure game for the XBOX360.

InVision Communications |
Walnut Creek, CA |
| |
InVision's primary business is event production. My job begins with the brainstorming process. Once we find a great theme that best communicates the clients message, it is my job to come up with several graphical looks that could be applied to stages, projections, print, video and other media. When that is decided, we begin to further develop our concept until it is approved by the client. The next step involves bringing in and supervising a good freelance Jr. Level Designer, or production artist to help bring the project to its conclusion. |
