Dwight Battle

Senior UI/UX and Interaction Designer

Seattle, WA, USA
I'm an independent digital product designer specializing in user interface design, user experience design, creative direction, mobile and tablet app design, and large-screen interactive experiences.

I'm passionate about creating intuitive product design and engaging interactive experiences. I have experience working on complex, multi-platform products for some of the world's premier brands in both in-house and agency environments. It's what I do. It's all I've ever wanted to do since I first picked up a pencil and started sketching penguins as a child.

Let's do awesome together.

I invite you to view my portfolio of work at www.studiobattle.com. I am seeking full-time art direction opportunities as well as freelance opportunities nationwide.
