About Maria Merchant
With 10+ years of UX experience across varied platforms and product applications, I have contributed to multiple game IPs such as MonopolyGO, Willy Wonka Match 3, The Wizard of Oz Match 3, and the home brewed, AzadiQuest.I\'ve worked on elevating the gameplay of these iconic franchises by designing tent-pole features, liveops as well as with UI integration and player-testing. My end goal always aligns with creating seamless immersive and inclusive experience for every play time.
