Bio
Since 2016, I’ve evolved from full-stack freelance to architecting high-stakes products across fintech, health, education, and eCommerce. I don’t just deliver visuals; I design high-performance engines. My work lives at the intersection of complex logic and fluid motion, ensuring every pixel is technically grounded and production-ready. I bridge the gap between abstract vision and functional, scalable reality for startups and global giants alike.

UI/UX Designer for Game-inspired Twitch Overlays
2026 - 2026
Freelance Client
- Designed and shipped a full Warhammer 40K stream overlay, a Black Templar strike cruiser bridge HUD, that covered this brief almost line for line: thematic visuals, vox and cogitator style graphics, and interactive components built for live use.
- Built the visual language from the ground up, so it read as genuine 40K rather than generic sci-fi, with the gothic detailing, runic readouts, and vox network panels that actually belong in the universe.
- Structured the overlay as four in-universe scene states, so it could shift live with whatever was happening on stream instead of sitting there as one static frame.
- Kept it practical alongside all the theming, making sure the HUD stayed legible over gameplay, didn't crowd the action, and held up under real-time use rather than only looking good in a flat mockup.
- Packaged the whole thing as an atomic asset library plus a design system doc, so the client could extend and reuse it without coming back to me for every small tweak.
- Worked directly with the client through the refinement rounds, taking both the look and the function from rough direction to a finished, publisher-grade overlay.
