What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a game-UI role where I can design player-friendly, visually striking interfaces, collaborate with programmers and designers, apply 3D and video skills, and ship projects on tight deadlines while growing in technical art and UI design.

I am an imaginative UI Artist with 4+ years in the games industry, focused on producing visually striking and player-friendly UI assets. I blend UI design with 3D art and video editing to create cohesive in-game visuals.

At Full Fat I produced wireframes and mockups to define layout and functionality and worked across multiple projects to meet tight deadlines. I communicated closely with programmers, designers and the art team to develop a consistent visual identity. My work on UI and character skins at GreenTea Games boosted player retention and increased positive Google Play reviews.

I use Adobe Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, Blender and Unity to create, optimise and A/B test UI assets, icons and videos to improve downloads. I’m seeking a role where I can apply my diverse skills to deliver functional, eye-catching user interfaces.
