This project is a Crossy-Roads-style wagering game designed for desktop and casino kiosks where players guide the proverbial chicken across the road. Each additional lane crossed increases the potential reward but also the risk.

To enhance player engagement, the chicken transitions through comically expressive states—Well, Concerned, and… No Longer with Us—and difficulty is based on chicken nugget “spiciness” levels.

My design work includes branding and crafting original game assets, both of which are achieved using a combination of AI tools and Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop).

This project blends humor and suspense to create an engaging palyer experience.

Drawing inspiration from the grit and charm of the Old West, I designed Tumbleweed with a rugged yet playful visual identity. This slot machine game highlights my ability to blend bold, consistenly-stylized aesthetics with functional, intuitive UI.

Utilizing my go-to tools—Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma, with AI assistance, I developed a cohesive design language featuring exaggerated Western motifs, intricate paylines, and vibrant reel symbols like revolvers, cowboy hats, and a golden Governor’s seal.

Every element of this slot machine game evokes the nostalgic atmosphere of an Old West boomtown saloon with its spirit of adventure, risk, and reward.

Feeling a bit ironic, I chose a felted art style for this Minesweeper-style lunar adventure gambling game. This project highlights my ability to create engaging and cohesive designs that enhance gameplay through unique visual assets and a strong brand identity.

Utilizing Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and AI tools, I crafted a playful and soft art style that immerses players in a cozy lunar adventure with charming rocket animations and plush textures.

Mashing up the warmth and approachability of soft, tactile felted design elements with a UI reminiscent of a 1970s HP-45 resulted in the striking visual identity and whimsical player experience I was shooting for.

I developed three distinct themes for this Plinko-inspired video game, showcasing my ability to create versatile and engaging designs that capture different atmospheres while delivering creative reskins quickly and effectively. Each theme leverages unique visual assets and brand identity, created using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and AI tools, to engage diverse audiences and elevate the excitement of the classic Plinko gameplay.

Finally, the golf-themed version brings a familiar, sporty feel with golf balls bouncing through fairways and sand traps toward rewarding holes.

The backyard garden theme offers a whimsical, nature-inspired setting where acorns tumble through leafy obstacles as a friendly squirrel looks on.

Embracing the neon-soaked vibe of the 80s, I designed a vibrant, retro interface for this Drop-style puzzle game. This project demonstrates my ability to channel nostalgic aesthetics into a cohesive game UI that amplifies player immersion and adds layers of excitement.

Working in Figma and Adobe Photoshop, I crafted dynamic visuals that capture the era’s bold patterns, geometric shapes, and neon accents. The falling “Droplets” and stationary “Slots” work together to deliver clear, rewarding gameplay feedback, while animations increase in intensity with each successful chain reaction.

Like, by mixing totally rad 80s vibes with super easy-to-use UI stuff, I made a game interface that’s, like, totally eye-catching and responsive! It, like, totally lets players relive the mega energy of old-school arcade classics in a fresh, tubular way!

Sorry. I couldn’t resist.

For this prehistoric card trader/battler, I embraced a bold, photo-realistic art style to bring these giants to life for a very young demographic. Again, this project became a proving ground to hone my ability to balance theme with clean, intuitive UI.

Combining Figma, Photoshop, and AI, I designed both sides of the highly-detailed  cards to make gameplay strategic and cool.

Earthy tones, dramatic lighting, and realistic textures evoke just the right mood. Blending the ferocity of dinosaurs with polished, modern UI design is just what our young and dinosaur-crazed audience wanted.

(For pitch presentation, but too fun to exclude)

For this sweet game concept, I designed a vibrant, quirky setting inspired by storybook art. Using my established toolset, I brought the characters’ playful personalities to life, creating a colorful, high-stakes visual experience.

The LifeMap was a unique hybrid: an emergency simulation web-app with multiplayer functionality of a video game.

I created a UI that offered niche functionality with quick, clear navigation with rich, interactive elements, that allowed users to manipulate 3D models and access intricate details with ease. The end product provided first-responders tactical utility with a lean UI that facilitated rapid decision-making.
