I’m Josh, UI Director for The Coalition, based out of Vancouver, Canada . Currently working on the next Gears of War.

I started the first 5 years of my career, fresh out of College in Toronto working in the web industry as a designer and a developer. Through a little bit of luck, I relocated out west to Vancouver and kicked off my career working as a UI Designer in the Games Industry. Designing and creating the front-ends and hud's across a myriad of titles from Electronic Arts, to the last 11 years working on applications and games within the Xbox eco-system. With the last 6 years working on the Gears of War franchise. Most recently I’ve started a new role for Final Strike Games on an exciting project I’ll hopefully be able to share some info about soon.

I have a passion for good Design, exceptional User Experience, and am always looking to improve my design processes and further out my technical skill set.
