Work closely with Unity developers to provide clear specifications, assets, component states, and interaction guidance.
Review the UI after it has been implemented in Unity and ensure it accurately reflects the approved designs, interactions, and quality standards.
Use playtesting, player feedback, usability findings, and relevant product data to improve UI/UX decisions.
Explore and responsibly use approved AI-assisted tools to accelerate ideation, visual exploration, iteration, and repetitive production work.
Maintain accountability for the quality, originality, consistency, confidentiality, and production readiness of AI-assisted outputs.
