I'm B. Donelan, a Designer and Illustrator from the Greater Boston area. My passion lies in transforming ideas into visually captivating creations. With each design and illustration project, I bring a collaborative and detail-oriented approach, ensuring the best outcome. I have been honing my creative craft from a young age (after recognizing that I could not become the next "Crocodile Hunter")—beginning with studying Multimedia Communications in a Vocational School before expanding my toolkit at Massart's Illustration Program.
​
When I'm not immersed in work, I dedicate my free time to being a Game Master at a local brewery, blending my love for storytelling with the community spirit of the venue. This passion for weaving narratives fuels my broader goal to craft stories in everyday life, whether through game development or cultivating unique experiences. I also explore other creative outlets like printmaking, bookmaking, and developing stories for my comic series, Bare Bones. This series delves into the everyday challenges of navigating a fresh diagnosis of a chronic condition, all with a critical eye and a touch of blunt humor.

To whom it may concern,
This letter is written to attest that B Donelan has taken part in and successfully completed the UX/UI for Gaming course taught by me and delivered through ELVTR.
Throughout the course, B has demonstrated an excellent understanding of the material covered in class and has made significant contributions through home assignments and a final project. B excelled in designing various interface components, shaping user experiences, and planning and conducting usability tests.
Feedback iteration has been an essential part of this course and an area where Bridgette has also demonstrated significant achievement. Taking an active part in peer discussions and completing in-class and homework, B successfully completed all stages and delivered a well-thought-through portfolio project for a game.
It has been a pleasure working with B, and their performance, commitment, and attitude have left a positive, lasting impression. I’m confident that B will be able to put the skills and knowledge that they have extracted from this class towards the advancement of their career, and I look forward to seeing the fruits of their labor.
