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.
