about

Hello, I’m Javi, a game UI designer and artist based in Basel, Switzerland. I create player-facing interfaces across UX design, visual development, and in-engine implementation, with experience in PC, console, and mobile games.My work spans UX flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes through to polished UI graphics, 2D assets, and engine integration. I’ve contributed to Neverwinter and a range of freelance projects, working with Unreal UMG, Unity UI Toolkit, and proprietary engine workflows. I also enjoy the technical side of UI, including building shaders, materials, animations, and production pipelines.I believe a designer’s role is to navigate complexity and make things clear. That principle guides how I shape interfaces that feel coherent, readable, and at home in their game worlds.

Don't hesitate to contact me for collaboration or any assistance you might need!You can contact me at javiermorenoheuer[at]gmail[dot]com.

RoD is a turn-based strategy game where strategy and the tactical use of terrain will decide your fate.You can also recruit different types of combat units, and upgrade them trying multiple combinations to create the combat gear that better fits your combat style.And all of this accompained by pixel art style, lovely characters, and a memorable script.

Case Study: Season Pass

Problem Statement

The previous Season Pass structure allowed a fixed eight items per milestone: four free and four on the premium track.

Goals & Objectives

Create a scalable structure that supports a variable number of items, allowing us to set a specific amount for each module.

Research, references, wireframes, and prototypes

Exploration of alternative ways to navigate the structure, such as scrolling, arrows, or carousel pages.

Ideas that didn't make the cut
