When I’m not crafting grey squares & rectangles, I’m either:
- Carrying Gigi on my shoulders
- Kicking a soccer ball w/ Geno
- Watching Love is Blind with my wife
Obvi not at GDC but hello! I’m Stefanie and I’m a UX Designer on Fortnite! My background is in game design and QA, I collect dead stuff and if I’m not at home reading I’m probably at the gym lifting heavy shit

Just a sad day today.
My heart breaks for those that were let go from Epic. If there is anything that I can do, please reach out via DM. You all are incredibly talented, rockstars that deserve the world. ❤️
It's been one year since I fulfilled a lifelong dream of working in gaming. It feels wild typing that. The closest feeling is the rush I had as a kid heading to
@Gamestop
for a midnight release.
I'm so grateful and lucky to be celebrating this year at

So excited to FINALLY be able to talk about all of the amazing work we’ve been cooking up.
Can’t wait for you all to try out these incredible new experiences 🚀 🔥

’s NFL Pro Era on Meta Quest. I played it on PC for a few minutes this morning.
Just…. Wow. I haven’t been this excited since I was a kid. Kudos 👏 🏈
✨ These past few days
@FortniteGame
have been magical 🪄
Nothing beats watching our community's reaction to the Big Bang, transforming Peely into a

Feel stuck during a

It’s always a good idea to re-read the goals and anti-goals that you wrote at the beginning.
Anti-goals are particularly helpful because they highlight what you want to avoid. It’s easy to lose sight of these when you’re heads down.
I've tried every iMessage workaround for Android. There is no comparison.
@onbeeper
is hands down the best. It unifies your messages and gives you an unrivaled iMessage experience on Google products.
I can’t wait to watch the YouTube reaction videos to this. If you think that you’re ready for the
#FortniteBigBang
, I promise you aren’t.

Anyone asking this question has never worked in this field lol.
Methodically shipping features that actually work is just product design 101.
For people who have never left this country:
- Mental health issues are not unique to the U.S.
- Video games are not unique to the U.S.
- Mass shootings ARE UNIQUE TO THE U.S.
- Our approach to gun ownership IS UNIQUE TO THE U.S.
This really isn't hard guys.

Hey Family!
Also not going to

🫡. I love threads like these and seeing the passion and lovely people in the

community ❤️.
Console users reportedly spent 1.6 billion hours playing Fortnite in December, which was more than Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 3, EA Sports FC 24, Grand Theft Auto V and Roblox combined.
One of my favorite parts of IC work is the excitement you feel seeing a Slack notification from Eng/Tech Design with a video clip of in-flight work in-engine.
❤️ 🙌

Blue. 2 kids and my wife are worth more than the money I’d make with the red pill.
I’d invest the 10 mil, live off interest and carry on my day to day.
Flying for the first time in a while and used expiring miles to upgrade to first class. My man next to me just pulled out a Lenovo rocking Windows Vista and I’m convinced I am on a Netflix special.
2023’s going to be an unreal year for us
@EpicGames
but before we get started, it’s time to reset with our winter break.
Last photos as a family of 3? ✅
Excited to spend quality time and rest up prior to our next little one arriving in Feb. Thank you

Throwing some love to

@golfplusvr
! One of my favorite experiences in quite some time. I am loving getting to golf with my dad who is halfway across the country. 👏👏
@CatamyKX
It’s nice not having a locked down ecosystem if you’re willing to deal with Windows on a small form factor.
The setup process is long but once everything is installed and tweaked settings, the performance is unmatched.
Battery life isn’t great but, that’s the trade off.
My hype level could not be higher for
@sunbirdapp
. I’ve been a user of all of the iMessage for Android solutions and this has the highest potential IMO.
Hope I get early access soon to test this out 😎.

Regardless of profession, invest in building strong social connections at work. Find your ride or die.
Once you find that person/group, going to “work” becomes the place you go to hang with your friends. Your skills will grow and you’ll look forward to logging on each morning.
It is truly hysterical how out of touch (and completely delusional) the GOP is.
Women. Want. Healthcare. Period.
They also don't realize that the best thing they can do is nominate Trump because he will be demolished in a national election.

How to tell you are in your dream job:
1. You look forward to logging into Slack in the AM
2. You see something funny outside of work that reminds you of a co-worker
3. You're proud to tell others where you work/what you do
4. You have to pinch yourself sometimes
5. You're happy
@Sparkly_Julie
You are my ride or die forever Julie. We will all miss you like crazy but will be singing your praises on the reg. I am hella hyped to see all that you do in the future 🔮. Keep kicking ass and being the amazing person you are.
Starfield is definitely going to be an amazing experience but I am finding the UI difficult to navigate. Hold binds aren't particularly clear and I feel like I am looking all over the screen for the primary CTA (ie - Hold X to Launch).
@NFLonFOX
My dad was reffing Broncos @ Pats and he was down 24-0 at half. It was freezing, so my brother and I went to the ref locker room for the 2nd half.
Of course TB12 came back in epic fashion. I was never more upset to be warm & eating clam chowder, I wanted to be in the stands.
@discolexia1
Focus on the “why” behind your decision making. It’s easy to get carried away diving strictly into visuals, but your critical thinking skills are what will determine your success as a designer.
Best of luck! 👏
@martincraster
Martin!
You are the 🐐. Wish we could’ve worked directly together more but always appreciated your thoughtful feedback and perspective. Best of luck in all that you do.
I just texted my wife a screenshot of our calendar with a time conflict and the word “flagging” in it.
I’ve crossed the rubicon and need to re-evaluate all things. 😂
