About Me
Hi, my name is Tristan Burnside! I fell into UI and UX through game development during my time at University of California, Santa Cruz. Once a student on track for biomechanical engineering, I ended up exploring computer science, and eventually found game design. I soon became invested in the User Interface and User Experience Design surrounding game development. The creative side of me I silenced for so long flourished as I began to learn and create more. I strive to create content that explores color, queerness, identity, fun, and the shared human experience.
When I’m not designing, you can find me fawning over cats, listening to all sorts of music (indie rock, punk, disco, hyperpop+), brewing coffee, soaking up the sun, or playing games with my friends.
