Hi Bluesky folks! I'm a technical experience designer on Apex Legends. My work is mainly architecting UI systems and breaking them down into smaller modular, feature-agnostic, and reusable pieces, as well as polishing and shipping individual UIs. Here are some of my favourite features I've shipped!

HUD UI for the R2R5 Buster Sword weapon in Apex Legends that was available in the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth collaboration event

Weapon inventory UI showing the P2020 pistol for the Akimbo feature

Weapon HUD UI showing the Mozambique shotgun pistol in Akimbo mode

Arrested development meme, 3 panels. Tobias and Lindsay are talking while sitting on a bed.
Panel 1 she asks: "Well, did it work for those people?"

Panel 2 he responds: "No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but..."

Panel 3 he continues: "But it might work for us."

For real? The people you thought were racist turned out to be racist?

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

When I lived in Asia they still respected the sacred traditions. Spooky until Nov 1 when things change to Christmassy, until Dec 26 when they change again to Lunar New Year songs on repeat
