My role
UX/UI Designer
The focus was on designing an interface that matched the game’s playful and artistic theme. Since the interface required a painted style, I collaborated closely with the artist to ensure the visuals aligned with the game’s mechanics and style, providing a seamless and engaging experience for players.

Understanding the Game Mechanics
To design an interface that fits the game, I first worked with the game design team to understand the mechanics and overall direction of Egg Summoner. This helped ensure that the UI complemented the gameplay and provided a smooth player experience.
Defining the Design Direction
After learning the game’s mechanics and vision, I collaborated with the art team to establish the overall design direction. Since the game required a painted style, we focused on creating a visual identity that matched the game’s theme.
Wireframing and Style Exploration
With a clear understanding of the game’s direction, I created the user flow, wireframes, and system design to structure the interface. To guide the art team, I used assets from the internet as style references, helping define the look and feel of the final UI elements.

Asset Creation
Based on the wireframes and references, the art team produced custom assets that aligned with the game’s aesthetic. These included interface elements, backgrounds, and other visuals needed for the game’s UI.
Interface Design Implementation
Once the assets were completed, I distributed tasks among the team, including myself, to assemble the final interface. Each designer worked on specific sections using the provided assets to maintain consistency across the UI.
Handoff to Development
After finalizing the designs, I collaborated with the development team to ensure smooth implementation, addressing any adjustments needed for a seamless integration into the game.
