  • Champion usability, accessibility, and player-centered design throughout development

  • 3+ years of professional UI/UX design experience in game development

  • Experience designing interfaces for complex gameplay systems or feature-rich applications

  • Strong understanding of UX, information hierarchy, accessibility, interaction design, and usability best practices
