- Props, tilesets, environments, and modular kits for level designers
- Illustration support for social drops, pitch decks, and crowdfunding beats
- Art direction coaching for teams without a resident lead
Motion-Ready Assets
Spine rigs, layered PSDs, and animation states arrive organised for engineers.
- Spine, Godot, Unity, and Unreal skeletal rigs with clean hierarchy naming
- 2.5D camera-ready environmental loops and parallax layers
- Pixel-art or HD frame-by-frame animations for characters, UI flourishes, and VFX
- Export-ready sprite sheets, atlases, and states for engineers
UI Systems Thinking
HUDs are tested for readability, localization, and controller parity before handoff.
- Wireframes, flows, and clickable prototypes in Penpot, Figma, and Affinity
- Iconography, typography systems, and accessibility-minded color palettes
- HUDs, menus, inventories, and dialogue widgets implemented inside Godot + Unity

Real work samples
Case Study 01
Challenge
Retro sci-fi shooter needed modern readability without losing charm. Menus were inconsistent and animation assets were brittle.
Approach
Rebuilt HUD kit in Godot, refreshed iconography, delivered new background tiles, and animated environmental props to reinforce the story tone.
Result
Launch build shipped with a cohesive UI language, smoother onboarding, and marketing-ready art sets for Steam + social drops.
Case Study 02
Challenge
Team needed a unifying art style plus characters, creatures, and promo material for a nautical-fantasy survival game.
Approach
Delivered concept boards, capsule art, and a full animation library (creatures, VFX, UI motion). Set up documentation so internal artists could extend the look.
Result
Playable build now showcases expressive characters, cohesive marketing beats, and ready-to-use store capsules.
Case Study 03
Challenge
Complex sci-fi puzzle adventure needed an interface that balanced diegetic flair with quick comprehension.
Approach
Mapped every flow, crafted iconography + typography tokens, produced mock-ups in Penpot, then implemented the HUD + inventory directly in-engine.
Result
Developers inherited a labeled layout system, animation presets, and marketing art that matches the in-game UI—no more mismatched visuals.
