Screen Peak

I work with game teams to understand how players actually learn, struggle, and master games. My work blends HCI research, player observation, and critical interpretation -- supporting design decisions without flattening creative intent. Currently accepting new clients.

@PhaseWanderer This looks really lovely! Strong mood and a clear sense of place already. If you’re ever interested, I’d be happy to offer some UX / player-experience feedback on Ripple Park, free of charge. No strings. Feel free to DM me. 😀

Pristine white tiles, warm soothing waters—this spot feels so safe and cozy. #IndieGameDev #indiegames #pixelart #gamedev #Retro #backroom

I don’t hand teams a checklist and call it insight. I connect evidence to design intent, surface tradeoffs, and help teams decide what matters for their game.

Accessibility isn’t just settings or compliance. It’s whether your intended experience is reachable by more kinds of players -- cognitively, perceptually, and emotionally.

I approach game UX as a learning problem. Players build mental models, test hypotheses, and adapt through feedback. Good UX doesn’t remove difficulty -- it makes the right difficulty legible.

I’m open to a small number of portfolio collaborations with game teams. This is focused, research-driven UX work -- ideal for indies or early projects that want a thoughtful outside perspective! DMs open.
