Hire UI/UX Designer for Game Studios
Senior, direct, no layers

A build that is fun in the studio still falls over in players' hands, because feedback from playtests, telemetry, and community reports never lands in one prioritised queue. A ui/ux designer starts from that pattern, because it is where players feel the cost first.

A ui/ux designer designs interfaces people can use without training, tested with real users before launch rather than after. For game studios, that means work shaped around pre-production, vertical slice, alpha and beta, launch, and seasonal live-ops, with players, publishers, and platform holders as the people it ultimately serves. Because players, not viewers, are the audience, everything is tested against real play, not just review.

Games are interactive products, not linear content: players break things in ways no test plan predicts, and the work has to be built around that reality. Book a free discovery call and we will test the fit on one real workflow before any wider scope is agreed.

Most game studios already run on game engines, large-asset version control, automated build pipelines, live-ops tooling, playtest scheduling, store pages, and player telemetry. The work passes between systems by hand, and the current state of a job is genuinely hard to see. A ui/ux designer connects that stack, using Figma, prototyping, usability testing, and design systems, and standardises the routines around it.

A change to a live game reaches every player at once, so releases are staged and rollback is planned before launch, not after. Design cannot rescue a broken process or a confusing offer; where the problem is deeper than the screen, that gets named.

A sensible first project is one loop, such as playtest feedback into the next build, measured on how fast reported issues reach a fix or a decision. Nothing wider is agreed until that first job proves itself in daily use.

The realistic outcome is steadier builds, faster patch turnaround, and live-ops seasons that ship on the dates players were promised. In daily terms, that means pre-production, vertical slice, alpha and beta, launch, and seasonal live-ops run with fewer surprises and less chasing between systems.

That is the standard this engagement is measured against: not a launch announcement, but work game studios still use months later, maintained by their own team with documentation handed over at the end. To start, discuss your workflow — or browse the full hire hub.
