What Have I Done Over The Years?

Who Am I?

My name is Brendan Butterworth, and I am a highly motivated and collaborative team player with a strong work ethic, seeking opportunities to contribute to dynamic projects. I am currently pursuing a degree in Video Game Design at Full Sail University, with a focus on expanding my skill set and taking on new challenges. I am committed to executing tasks with efficiency and precision, while consistently striving to deliver exceptional results that meet both customer and employer expectations. My current area of focus is UI/UX design, where I am exploring user experience concepts and designing interface elements such as health and stamina meters, pickup icons, and inventory slots. While UI/UX is my primary focus, I remain open to learning and developing expertise in other areas to further enhance my capabilities.
