I'm Marion Amira.

Profile

I am a UX/UI designer with a background in video games, with experience of one year in technical art and three years in quality assurance, so I spent a lot of time catching details one would otherwise miss and trying to discover different ways to "break" a game. As a technical artist I enjoyed building environments, scenes, and levels to take a player through. I really like being part of a team to create experiences for people to enjoy. I love learning new things and I believe education doesn't stop when you get your degree, you just level up. Most recently, I completed a certificate program in UX/UI design through Thinkful. My concentration was in front-end development, but I learned all the aspects of UX/UI, including user research, content managing, and branding and identity.

  • My favorite video games come from Bethesda, but if I had to choose only one, it would probably be Fallout 4.
