Objective

Hey there,
My name is Alexander “Pectabyte” Barnes. To say that I’m driven is an understatement. Its more of an obsession with the way Game Environments and, Good, User Interfaces look and feel that push me forward. As a San Francisco based artist I’ve worked on everything from Hard-Surface Modeling of Environment objects to Environment and Level design to U.I. and U.X. flow. I’ve been deeply engrossed in every aspect of Interactive and Game Design for both PC/Console based applications as well as Mobile and Tablet device Apps for the last six years.

Specialties:
User Interface Design, Mobile Application Design and prototype(iPhone, Android, iPad Galaxy Tablet) Level and Environment Design, Hard Surface 3D modeling.
