I am an explorer, an observer, and an artist. From micro to macro, I am obsessed with interaction. AdHoc whiteboards, endless sticky note feeds, and constant team workshops; good times create great products that return measurable value.
I have worked in game dev, mobile, web, and print. Through working with client IP's, I make decisions that encompass the user's interaction with applications and features, resulting in increased user satisfaction and loyalty, while staying in or under budget.
Epic Goal ─ UI / UX Design Props
UI/UX control schema concept, design, integration, implementation:
“…This is where the biggest risk for Epic Goal lies; with Bola, for instance, we found the control scheme to be frustratingly difficult. But Epic Goal immediately shines. While in most soccer games the players dart back and forth across the field, presenting a huge challenge for point-and-click operation, Epic Goal’s childlike players progress across the screen at a speedy toddle. When there’s an opportunity to pass, tackle or shoot for a goal, huge, colored rings appear to be clicked on.”

Web Design / Marketing Visuals:
“Although I was never Juston’s direct supervisor, I worked with Juston to develop web-related applications and web pages. Juston was given the task to design web pages but his drive to learn quickly expanded his role in the development department to include the programming of Javascript and Flash applets used in website control and marketing promotions. In marketing, we are always concerned about providing a simple purpose or message with a minimum of static to dilute the message. Juston was a quick study and produced extraordinary web designs. In summary, he does exceptional work. The CEO of our company (who has a master’s degree in commercial design) often commented about Juston’s “gift” in design. Regarding Juston’s work ethics and social acceptance, I would say that Juston was well liked by his peers, was a joy to work with, and always looked for ways to improve his design skills. Therefore, without hesitation I would recommend Juston for any website design or website development position that he might apply.”
