• Craft diverse UX artifacts (flows, wireframes, prototypes) to guide development and research.

• Be part of a design process that supports player-centered game development
• Promote creative efforts that uncover new value with new kinds of experiences
• Support the creation and management of a design system
• Work with UI developers to help get designs implemented into the game
