Ope, hey there, I’m Andre

I’m a Midwest kid turned Seattle-based UX Designer, with 8+ years of experience on software development teams and a background in Physics. My focus is on making complex systems feel simple, efficient, and even enjoyable - from enterprise platforms serving thousands of users to player-centered digital experiences.

Outside of work, I’m always making something - digital art, animation, music (10+ years in Ableton Live), and recently diving into Blender to bring ideas into 3D. I grew up playing all sorts of games and still love them, from the contemplative strategy of Go to the endless creativity of Magic: The Gathering, I love exploring systems, mechanics, and the stories they unlock. I also get outside whenever I can: skiing, golfing, or trying not to fall off a climbing wall.
