HEAD COACH 09

I led the interface team under the awesome art direction of Tim Spangler to push this title into the world. I owned both the primary UI and in-game UI, iconography, motion design etc.

This included first boot through to credits screens. It was also the game that seemed to be the one that got me doing most of the icons for EA Sports for a couple of years.

MADDEN NFL 08

I led the interface team throughout development of this title from concept to shelf. This was my first serious Lead Role in the game world and it was a hell of a learning experience. With 100's of screens to work on, this was a full refresh of the UI and introduction of many new and innovative features.

MADDEN NFL 07

This project was intense. It was the first time implementing the new universal UI framework that my team designed for all EA SPORTS Titles. This was a massive undertaking and required both serious design thinking and problem solving skills.

We designed the framework in partnership with Schematic and it became the baseline for all EA SPORTS games for the next 5 years

SUPERMAN RETURNS

Bringing to life one of the most iconic superheros of all time is a pretty big job.

Working with Phil Straub and his art team was absolutely amazing!
Thanks for helping me become a better concept artist, Phil!
