i've been making games since 5th grade. currently, i'm a freshman at university of utah studying software engineering with an emphasis in game design (tl;dr game development but i focus on programming more). my dream is to be able to pursue a career of making cool games with other people!

personally, in a team of game developers, i would like to take on the role of being the one to design & develop user interface, and improve user experience. i personally believe that UI is such a powerful but undervalued part of games. it's one of those things that, it only really receives the spotlight if it's bad. i mean, do we really see game reviewers going "look at how good their UI is!"? probably not. chances are, they're more realistically gonna talk about how good the art is, how immersive the story is, and such. but, if you have interfaces that are completely unusable, that's when it receives the "literally unplayable" treatment. so my goal -- i want to help development teams make UI that both work and is aesthetically pleasing. i envision a world where interfaces are as self-explanatory, and easy to navigate as possible. and players of games should be focusing on having fun, and not trying to work their way around clunky menus.
