Overview

NZXT is a hardware company most known for their computer cases but also sells a wide range of peripherals and products targeted towards PC Gamers.

Role

Reimagined the future of NZXT's desktop software by improving the visual design, user experience and buisness needs. Took ownership of foundational aspects of design for the next iteration of the software, worked closely with engineers to focus on craft and polish to bring the work to life.

Simultaneously helped maintain the current version of CAM to support upcoming hardware initiatives and refine aspects of the user experience.

Systems Desgin

Took ownership of crafting a design library and system for all digital interactive teams at NZXT. Worked with engineers to find and develop optimal standards and audit existing systems for areas of refinement.
