Senior UI/UX Interactive Designer and Artist based in New York

Hi, I'm Deja.

I craft engaging experiences and tell captivating stories through visually appealing and playful designs, utilizing empathy and design thinking to create more inclusive and accessible experiences.

Each stage of my career has greatly influenced my current work ethos and philosophy - Rethink what is normal.

Throughout my career, I've worked with many IPs and on different projects in both the educational and entertainment spheres. I draw from a strong traditional fine arts background, augmented by an understanding of holistic design thinking while always striving to create experiences that are accessible, intuitive, and engaging.

I have worked on over 30 games and apps for various clients such as Nickelodeon, Disney, Ubisoft, Activision, Leapfrog, Mattel, MIT, Pearson Education, Lionforge, and more!
