compact and engaging
UX and technical solutions for existing dice-themed apps. I did a case study on both projects and offered alternative, mobile friendy UI implementations for problem areas. Below is an excerpt from the original dicumentation on the Dice Tactics project, which consists of 21 pages of custom solutions designed for the unique gameplay.
Present problems:
A. Name input prompt is duplicated after customization process.
B. The placement of the dice indicates randomization of the name instead of the looks.
C. The character display in the card takes focus away from the customization process.
D. The customization options themselves are very limited and the current display scheme doesn't take full advantage of the space or visual nature of modyfying the looks.
E. The colors are very muddy and don’t cover a lot of the common skin colors.
F. Some of the hairstyles are glitching and pixelating with uncolored parts in the live version of the game available on playstore.
G. The confirmation button should be placed away from the customization options to achieve a better action flow.
H. With the current font choice the “f” in the “female” looks like a small letter.
Proposed changes:
This solution capitalizes on a simple, readable and intuitive arrangement with a mostly visual UI. The layout is strongly inspired by dress up games and allows showcasing of all the vast customization options at the same time. It is also modular and doesn’t prevent future expansion of elements or categories.

Puzzle game utilizing a mechanic of bouncing bullets to hit all bottles. I was responsible for asset production, animations (both sprite and bone based) and the UI. I worked directly in the engine directly aiding the implementation.
Complete visual overhaul of all the art assets in the project with exception of backgrounds. My goal was to present the players with more vibrant and brighter visuals as well as lower the information clutter, by producing more intuitive icons and introducing candy-like color palette.
