Squid Liquid Studio | User Interface Design

I design player-facing, creator-facing, and platform experiences across PC, console, mobile, and web. Over 20 years, I’ve led UX/UI teams, shipped award-winning games, built creator workflows for UGC platforms, and taken interfaces from strategy and wireframes through Figma, Unreal, Unity, implementation, and polish.
