My Role

UX/UI designer

Internship at Sharkmob

Sharkmob is a full-fledged AAA game studio that develops and publishes its own games with strong online multiplayer components. My role has been crossing between UX and UI design. As an intern, I have been immediately trusted to own a large part of the work while communicating inside and outside of the UI/UX team on a daily basis. Among several tasks, my favourite was redesigning matchmaking user flow and interfaces. The design process has roughly followed a double-diamond model and it can be divided into five stages: understand, explore, prototype, iterate and deliver.
