I’m Gene & I’m a Lead UX Designer

working on

When I’m not crafting grey squares & rectangles, I’m either:
- Carrying Gigi on my shoulders
- Kicking a soccer ball w/ Geno
- Watching Love is Blind with my wife
Obvi not at GDC but hello! I’m Stefanie and I’m a UX Designer on Fortnite! My background is in game design and QA, I collect dead stuff and if I’m not at home reading I’m probably at the gym lifting heavy shit

It's been one year since I fulfilled a lifelong dream of working in gaming. It feels wild typing that. The closest feeling is the rush I had as a kid heading to

Feel stuck during a
#UX
project?
It’s always a good idea to re-read the goals and anti-goals that you wrote at the beginning.
Anti-goals are particularly helpful because they highlight what you want to avoid. It’s easy to lose sight of these when you’re heads down.

Methodically shipping features that actually work is just product design 101.

For people who have never left this country:
- Mental health issues are not unique to the U.S.
- Video games are not unique to the U.S.
- Mass shootings ARE UNIQUE TO THE U.S.
- Our approach to gun ownership IS UNIQUE TO THE U.S.
This really isn't hard guys.

Blue. 2 kids and my wife are worth more than the money I’d make with the red pill.
I’d invest the 10 mil, live off interest and carry on my day to day.

Flying for the first time in a while and used expiring miles to upgrade to first class. My man next to me just pulled out a Lenovo rocking Windows Vista and I’m convinced I am on a Netflix special.

It’s nice not having a locked down ecosystem if you’re willing to deal with Windows on a small form factor.
The setup process is long but once everything is installed and tweaked settings, the performance is unmatched.
Battery life isn’t great but, that’s the trade off.

Regardless of profession, invest in building strong social connections at work. Find your ride or die.
Once you find that person/group, going to “work” becomes the place you go to hang with your friends. Your skills will grow and you’ll look forward to logging on each morning.

It is truly hysterical how out of touch (and completely delusional) the GOP is.
Women. Want. Healthcare. Period.
They also don't realize that the best thing they can do is nominate Trump because he will be demolished in a national election.

How to tell you are in your dream job:
1. You look forward to logging into Slack in the AM
2. You see something funny outside of work that reminds you of a co-worker
3. You're proud to tell others where you work/what you do
4. You have to pinch yourself sometimes
5. You're happy

Starfield is definitely going to be an amazing experience but I am finding the UI difficult to navigate. Hold binds aren't particularly clear and I feel like I am looking all over the screen for the primary CTA (ie - Hold X to Launch).

My dad was reffing Broncos @ Pats and he was down 24-0 at half. It was freezing, so my brother and I went to the ref locker room for the 2nd half.
Of course TB12 came back in epic fashion. I was never more upset to be warm & eating clam chowder, I wanted to be in the stands.

Focus on the “why” behind your decision making. It’s easy to get carried away diving strictly into visuals, but your critical thinking skills are what will determine your success as a designer.
Best of luck! 👏
