Synopsis

Donkey Kong has stolen all the Mini-Mario toys from the factory, and it’s up to Mario to get them back! Run, jump, and backflip your way to retrieving them across over 130 levels in this puzzle-style twist on classic platforming action.
Role
•
UI & Concept Artist
During the production of Mario vs Donkey Kong, I had the opportunity to produce concepts and UI assets to support the game's reverence for the original Mario vs Donkey Kong.
I created concepts and mockups to explore potential directions, and icons for UI art. I worked in combination with other artists and project leads to help visualize and develop game designs.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong launched for Nintendo Switch on February 16, 2024. ⚪️
