Bio

Based in Salt Lake City, My passion lies in bridging the realms of design psychology in both gaming and software. I have dedicated my professional career to uncovering the intriguing parallels between professional e-sport players and software power users, as well as exploring the social dynamics ignited by elements like "hi-scores" in productivity platforms. I find joy in translating these insights into tangible enhancements and features, creating products and experiences that people LOVE! If you are interested in games or more specifically Super Metroid, you can find my 2022 TEDx Talk, "Can a 90s video game be a standard for experience design?", for a captivating dive into my perspective on the fusion of gaming and design.
