Hi, I’m Shadae

A Japanese-Mexican Senior UX Designer from Los Angeles with 6+ years of experience turning messy, complex headaches into digital experiences people enjoy using.

Having grown from an intern to a Senior Designer at Activision, I’ve spent my career navigating high-ambiguity projects across web, desktop, native mobile, and console. I’m comfortable taking complex stuff like architecting global SSO and 2FA ecosystems for millions of players or translating game stats for Desktop, Console, and Mobile screens and making it feel seamless and effortless.

I thrive in a collaborative environment and on cross-functional teamwork; I act as a friendly bridge between product managers, engineers, and studio leadership. Whether I’m nerd-ing out over design systems, mentoring junior designers, or advocating for accessibility, I bring a lot of curiosity and creativity to the table.

Off the clock, you can usually find me hunting for great food and coffee, learning pottery, or playing a cozy game
