UI Artist, Demiurge Studios
Cambridge, MA
You're a special kind of artist. When you hear designers talk about hovering, you think button states. It's hard talking to 3d artists - they keep misusing the term "wireframe." Recurring nightmare: a string gets infected by German and grows to TEN TIMES its normal size.
Special.
You create beautiful, functional UI in a range of styles. Kitten petting game? Easy. Underwater merman village? Check!
You know how to give designers the beautiful button they want, not the functional button they're asking for.
You know it's important to land that back button in just... the right... spot. There.
You love UI challenges, and Demiurge needs you.
If you care about the user’s experience from the very first splash screen all the way through the ending credits, we’d love to talk with you!
