Avery Is Ready for Her Next Game UI Chapter

10-year game UI leader shipping live-ops systems that boost retention and accessibility.

San Francisco, CA

About

I build gaming interfaces that survive change, and still feel effortless to players.

I fell in love with the moment when a confusing screen becomes a confident click. Since then, I have focused on UI that holds up under real-world pressure, live updates, new content, shifting priorities, and multiple platforms. I care about craft, but I care even more about what the data says players actually do.

I design UI like infrastructure, modular, measurable, and built for iteration. In live-ops environments, I have run telemetry-informed changes that cut onboarding friction by 30%, then used usability playtests to target the next drop-off points.

I am comfortable owning the money screens and the trust screens. I have designed store and progression experiences that stay coherent through constant content updates, and I have led A/B testing that improved retention by 18%.

I also build for the future, not just the next sprint. I bring accessibility implementation experience (Deque-trained), plus AR and VR UI work where clarity, comfort, and legibility are non-negotiable.

If you know a team hiring for UI systems, live-ops UX, or experimentation-led product design, I would love a warm intro. A LinkedIn share also helps a lot, especially to leaders in games, UGC platforms, XR, or gamified consumer apps.

Target roles: Principal or Lead UI Systems Designer, Live Ops UX or Economy UX Designer, Senior Product Designer, onboarding and experimentation
