about

A graduate in Industrial Design and Product Development Engineering, I made the decision to blend my academic background with my passion. This led me to relocate to Madrid and pursue a Master's degree in Game Design.Initially working as a game designer, I gained valuable experience in conceptualizing games from the ground up. Currently, I work as a UI artist, responsible for creating essential elements for game screens and flows.As a hybrid professional (with both artistic and technical abilities), I am dedicated to bridging gaps in game development, connecting various departments, and overseeing the entire UI pipeline, from conception to implementation.At the core of my approach is a personal motto: I firmly believe that a designer's role, regardless of the field, is to navigate complexity to deliver simplicity.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if there's anything I can assist you with. You can contact me at javiermorenoheuer[at]gmail[dot]com.
