Hi there, I’m
Matt Pearson,
Experience and Interface Designer
Shaping AAA Gaming experiences that reduce friction, empowers accessibility and redefines how people play and connect
Building Player Experiences with Research and Proven Design Principles.
I design seamless, intuitive, and rewarding player experiences. As a Video Game UX and UI Designer, I blend design fundamentals, accessibility, and player psychology to create systems that not only function but feel right in play.
Games themselves shaped my path, inspiring me to craft interfaces that respect player time, deepen immersion, and make complexity approachable.
At the core is a simple philosophy: build for players, trust what works, and refine until it feels effortless.
