- Blueprint-Driven Development: Own UI implementation in Unreal using Blueprints, including widget logic, layout behavior, animations, transitions, and polish.
- Systems-Level UX Thinking: Collaborate with designers and engineers to shape UI flows for complex player-facing systems, identifying friction points and proposing effective solutions.
- Localization-Aware UI Design: Design UI layouts that are resilient to localization constraints, including variable text length, different character sets, and internationalization requirements.
- World-Space & Screen-Space UI: Implement both traditional screen-space UI (menus, HUDs, overlays) and in-world UI elements (indicators, tooltips, contextual information).
- Technical Collaboration: Work closely with engineering partners to integrate UI with underlying game systems, including data binding, state-driven updates, and performance considerations.
- Iteration & Polish: Participate in frequent reviews, iterating on UI designs and implementations to achieve a high-quality bar for usability, readability, and feel.
