Hey there!

I'm Mindy Kilgore

I’m a product / UX designer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with a passion for gaming and interactive storytelling. My creative background started in comics and animation, and I love bringing those narrative and visual skills into interactive design.

When I’m not working on games, you can usually find me playing bass, sketching comics about gaming, watching cartoons, costuming, going to comic cons, cooking, or hiking with my dog.

A digital drawing of two people walking in New York City.
Digital fan art of the video game Ghost of Tsushima.
A comic about annoying video game walkthrough Youtubers.
A comic of a very serious character in a video game explaining how serious the storyline is. Then it cuts away to a main character in a silly custom outfit, a frog with a bowtie and maracas.
A digital drawing of an environment from the video game, Stray.

My Career so far

I’ve been designing products and interactive experiences since 2020, and working as a visual designer since 2016. My foundation in illustration and comics goes back even further — I’ve published work, exhibited in galleries, illustrated children’s books, and served on the board of a local arts nonprofit producing events with emerging artists.

In gaming, I’ve partnered with developers, sound engineers, and artists to design intuitive UI systems, polish gameplay interactions, and create immersive visuals.

Whether it’s building player flows, animating feedback states, or storyboarding narrative sequences, I approach each project with the goal of making games more engaging, accessible, and fun.
