• Synch up with your UX team to explore possibilities, make suggestions, overcome roadblocks, etc.
• Work closely with collaborative teams (UI, monetization, programming, audio, art, etc.) to balance game intentions with UX principles.
• Review user tests and gather feedback + assess problems and iterate to find solutions.
• Develop our UX best practices + promote them across the studio.
• Participate in recruitment to build your UX team & foster their long-term growth.
