What I do

As a UI/UX designer, I create wireframes and mockups that match the needs of the product while keeping the user experience in mind. Using Adobe Photoshop, I construct mockups close to the final product, which allows me to apply feedback early in development.

In addition to understanding the principles of good UI/UX design, I also have the technical knowledge to turn these into a reality using my experience in front-end site development and Unreal UMG, including blueprinting.

About me

I am a Dutch and British X-year-old living in the Netherlands. My passion for creating games started out by customising existing games on servers to make them more enjoyable, growing and leading a small community along the way. Other self-taught hobbies of mine are web development and video editing. I later studied International Game Architecture & Design at (NHTV) Breda University of Applied Sciences. I enjoy making things!
