Summary

👋🏾 Hi, I’m Samantha — a developer and designer who loves building interactive, intuitive digital experiences. When I’m not designing or coding, you’ll find me behind a drum kit, performing and creating rhythm in a different medium (check out my Instagram!).

UCSD Video Game Development Club (VGDC)

As a UI Designer for Mariposa, I designed and prototyped interfaces that enhanced player flow and visual storytelling. I partnered with developers, artists, and designers to create cohesive layouts and interactions that supported gameplay and improved usability. Contributing to a shipped title gave me hands-on experience translating creative concepts into polished, player-ready design solutions.
