Vetted Design Professionals in California

“Gameplay systems designer with shipped AAA experience on Overwatch, including end-to-end ownership of player progression and major systems like matchmaking (role delta system cutting uncertainty/volatility by 50%) and Stadium mode round/shop + MMR/balancing systems (second-highest engaging mode). Strong in KPI/retention-driven design, player research, and telemetry-based balancing, with a UE5 Blueprint prototyping workflow built for modularity, data-driven tuning, and handoff to engineering.”

“Creative lead and localization/linguistic supervisor working across major entertainment and tech clients (Netflix, Meta, Audible, MrBeast). Known for using audience retention signals to drive rapid edit/script iterations and for high-impact global localization decisions (dubbing, transcreation, subtitles) that support international scale viewership.”

“UE5 gameplay scripter/engineer who worked on player-facing weapon systems for Perfect Dark, owning Blueprint-driven state management, projectiles/damage, and player feedback with a strong focus on edge-case polish and responsiveness. Experienced in modular Blueprint architecture (inheritance-based) for scalable content, playtest/analytics-driven iteration, and performance optimization of gameplay loops (e.g., reducing runtime NPC tracking for a disguise gadget).”

“Marketing designer/creative lead who builds scalable Figma-based systems for high-volume growth and community creative. Led a Recurly campaign aligned to a brand refresh (including creative testing like light vs dark), and served as the sole designer for Grow Therapy’s inaugural “Grow Forward” summit producing a full suite of event assets plus modular community templates for ongoing programming.”

“Real-time simulation/physics engineer who optimized character effects and cloth for the "Infinity" game by implementing and profiling multiple ODE integrators, including pioneering the largely undocumented Parker-Sochacki method (optimized 5/7 sims; >30% speedup on a particle system). Also built SPH fluid solvers in Unity (C#) and created Grafana/Python Dash dashboards to analyze latency/throughput, with strong interest in applying math/physics and tooling to soccer/football gameplay.”

“Marketing creative designer/motion specialist with experience leading high-visibility launch work for Ring, including its largest product launch sizzle. Builds scalable Figma design systems and modular creative frameworks to produce high-volume, multi-platform assets quickly while maintaining premium brand consistency and iterating based on performance data.”

“UX/product designer with deep healthcare and mission-critical software experience across 3M Healthcare, GE Healthcare, and Motorola. Has designed complex lab automation and radiology workflows end-to-end, combining rigorous field research with hands-on engineering (HTML/CSS/TypeScript/React, Storybook) and even building live prototypes (Firebase + Angular) and production-ready UI control libraries to ship.”

“World of Warcraft quest designer who owned end-to-end quest pipelines and shipped standout content, including the memorable escort/stealth quest “Klaskin’s Great Escape” tuned through playtests and a Dragonflight capstone framing story that drove higher side-quest engagement. Experienced in Lua scripting, reward/economy balancing, and building daily/weekly endgame loops (Beetle Ranch/Rak-Ush), with recent UE5 Avalanche node-based VFX prototyping exposure.”

“Game QA lead with 20+ years of tooling and workflow experience, most recently leading QA on a Unity-based MLB mobile title with annual releases and major feature updates. Led QA for the PS Vita port of Borderlands 2 focused on technical requirements, performance, and usability, including making a key ship-risk call to limit multiplayer players. Known for disciplined Jira/TestRail administration, strong cross-functional communication, and uncovering critical submission-blocking issues with clear evidence and repro steps.”
