Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/caprice

As a passionate and results-driven Lead User Experience Designer, I bring a diverse background in both the tech and video game industries, combining a deep understanding of player behavior, design thinking, and cutting-edge technology to create memorable, intuitive experiences. Currently, I lead the UX team within the Riot Web Division at Riot Games, where I spearhead design initiatives to improve web experiences for millions of players worldwide.

With a proven track record in both R&D and production environments, I have a unique ability to bridge the gap between user needs and business goals, while maintaining a focus on seamless, player-first experiences. Prior to my current role, I worked within Riot Games’ R&D studios, contributing to an exciting Unannounced Title, where I worked closely with cross-functional teams to iterate on design concepts and deliver innovative solutions for early game development.

Before joining Riot Games, I held the role of Senior Experience Designer at Capital Games within Electronic Arts (EA), where I contributed to several high-profile titles. Notably, I played a key role in the design and UX of Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle Earth, Plants vs. Zombies 3, and Command and Conquer: Rivals. My work at EA was driven by a deep passion for crafting engaging, accessible experiences that resonate with players, while balancing the technical constraints and ambitions of each project.

Throughout my career, I have cultivated a user-centered design philosophy, emphasizing empathy, data-driven decision-making, and creative problem-solving. My leadership style is collaborative, mentoring talented designers while fostering an environment of continuous learning and growth. Whether designing for core players or casual gamers, I am committed to ensuring that every interaction feels intuitive, engaging, and rewarding.
