Overview
Before layoffs at Playful Studios, I contributed to Wildcard by designing prototypes for the front-end and deck builder. I incorporated feedback from interviews, created wireframes to test layouts, and developed a UX design strategy to streamline the game’s UI development.

Background
While at Playful, I focused mainly on a hero-based arena PVP digital collectible card game with a robust deck builder. My primary role was driving UX design, with some involvement in creating style mocks for visual design.

Research
Process
Insights & Analysis:
I performed and documented a detailed analysis of deck builders.
After finding commonalities and determining the pros and cons of various systems from player and designer interviews, I designed several options to test with the team.
Design
Wireframes, Flowcharts & Prototyping:
I iterated on a few designs for the deck builder, designing several wireframes to test different layouts, mappings, and scenarios.
Made several prototypes in XD for stakeholders to use when providing feedback.
Visual Dev
Style Mocks:
Before the layoffs, we didn’t get far into the UI visual development process. Although I wasn’t the UI Artist on the project, I contributed by quickly creating some rough style mocks to aid in the discussion.
Design Strategies
UX Dev Pipeline & Team Comp:
While at Playful, I started developing what I considered, at the time, to be an ideal UX Design pipeline for game development.
I included lanes for various roles and loosely scheduled when specific roles should execute certain methodologies.
