Vetted Design Professionals in the Los Angeles Metro

“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).”

“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.”

“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 economy/progression designer who owned an end-to-end multi-currency economy for a top-down kitchen management sim, balancing cash/reputation/XP with sinks like spoilage, maintenance, and rent. Uses telemetry + structured playtests and spreadsheet simulations to tune pacing, reduce mid-game churn, and prevent late-game inflation by adjusting efficiency/skill curves and phase-based balancing.”

“Senior/brand designer with portfolio work spanning fintech and AI SaaS, including leading the Daylight Grow launch for an LGBTQ+ audience across multiple channels (web, social, email, events, merch, OOH). Expanded Cleanlab’s Figma design system in close partnership with engineering and led visual QA to support fast, high-volume iteration without quality drift; also drove direct mail + landing page redesigns for Happy Money to improve acquisition performance.”
