Experience
UX | UI | Consultant| Designer | illustrator at Jeremy Steiner Art
April 2004 - Present
The nature of my business is to create art and provide high quality UX Design, UI Art for products development in games and apps in the entertainment industry. I am an art consultant, and I communicate visually the desired results as expressed by my clients. It is important to go through a user centered process in UX UI Product Development. As an artist first and humanistic approach I develop the look and feel and standard UX conventions of a project, so that I can set the tone, foundation, or visual language early. I produce quality work delivered in a timely manner, and I create a positive working environment.
