Senior Mobile Game UI/UX Artist

• Define and own the visual direction, layout, interaction patterns, and overall artistic quality of mobile game interfaces.
• Create high-fidelity 2D UI assets, icons, screens, menus, and interactive elements that are colorful, polished, intuitive, and optimized for mobile devices.
• Integrate 2D UI layers with 3D game assets while maintaining visual hierarchy, depth, readability, and a cohesive aesthetic.
• Build, scale, and maintain a component-driven UI design system in Figma, including reusable components, variants, variables, auto-layout structures, and responsive behaviors.
• Design modular and reusable UI components that account for mobile platform constraints and different screen sizes and aspect ratios.
• Create user flows, wireframes, mockups, interactive prototypes, and iconography that prioritize intuitive navigation, touch ergonomics, and engaging player interactions.
• Design interfaces for modern free-to-play meta systems, including progression tracks, Battle Passes, collection systems, rewards, and other engagement features.
• Collaborate closely with programmers, technical artists, producers, and other creative stakeholders to ensure designs are implemented accurately and retain their intended visual quality in-engine.
• Use generative AI and AI-assisted design tools to accelerate brainstorming, mood-board development, concept exploration, iteration, and asset generation.
• Maintain clear design documentation and communicate UI logic and design-system principles effectively to technical and creative teams.
• Contribute to UI animations, visual effects, and other implementation considerations where appropriate.
• Continuously refine the player experience by balancing visual excitement with clarity, usability, consistency, and performance.
