The Role
UI Designers at Splash Damage turn concepts and systems into intuitive and engaging experiences that enable players to interact with our game worlds and each other.
Applying user-centred design methodologies, UI Designers take ownership of UI features and drive them to completion. They create user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and effectively apply colour theory and design principles to craft visual designs with a high degree of polish. After delivering mock-ups and design specs, they review the implementation to ensure it matches their vision, and use feedback from user testing to push iteration as needed.
UI Designers are collaborative by nature and enjoy working with others to develop concepts and ideas. They see challenges as opportunities to develop their own skills and are enthusiastic about honing their technical ability and expertise. UI Designers are selfless individuals who never lose sight of who they’re ultimately designing for – our players.
We believe that levelling up our skills is an essential part of the job and offer regular training opportunities and mentorship to all our UI Designers.
