How the Gaming Industry Shaped My Design Career

As I reflect on the early days of my UX design career, I remember asking myself "How do I plan on remaining relevant as a designer throughout the rest of my career?" To achieve this goal, I knew I needed to understand what would engage my audiences in the future. This led me to a powerful guiding principle: "To understand the tools of tomorrow, you have to understand the toys of today."

With that motto in mind, I began seeking out opportunities in the gaming industry where I discovered a world of innovation that constantly pushed the boundaries of technology and user experience design. By immersing myself in this world, I gained invaluable insights into what drives player engagement and developed the skills to craft exceptional experiences that kept users engaged by prioritizing not only their articulated wants but also their unarticulated human needs.

Through my work, I've been able to create solutions that not only meet business objectives but also provide users with a fulfilling sense of autonomy, mastery, and/or purpose. This knowhow sets me apart from other UX designers and allows me to deliver exceptional results. The insights and skills I've gained through my background in the gaming industry are what truly differentiates me from other UX designers and drives my continued passion for creating incredible user experiences.
