Managed a team of talented designers and allocated tasks based on their strengths, allowing them take ownership of various elements of the game and assisting when needed.

Used GitHub tasks to create and manage the tasks for the team based on goals set in weekly sprint meetings.

Held constant team meetings with both the design team and the other team leads, as well as with the creative director to ensure their vision was being realised.

Organised multiple after work gaming sessions, of Crabsticks, to bond as a team and also act as a fun way to keep morale high and bring up further game ideas from the whole team.

Worked with other tech designers and Tech team to create a modular manager system that could be reused and adjusted using exposed variables. This helped designers in rapidly creating minigame prototypes with various reusable and adaptable features, such as time limit, lives, first to score x, etc.

Used a Level instance approach to maintain modularity within the level design and environment art fields. By using a manager to randomly select map variations within a level, which already uses a level instance to bring the core environment in, this meant that artists, level designers, and the tech team could all work on levels at the same time without creating conflicts.

Created modular UI that could be reused on all modes by linking to the game manager.

Tweaked various elements within the dynamic game elements to add further polish to the game feel.

Implemented all animations into the engine, setting up an Animation Blueprint which includes squash and stretch on the eyes and player locomotion on ground and in air.

Worked with concept art team to develop and refine a UI style that was readable during chaotic gameplay whilst remaining loyal to the games charm.

Designed the wireframes for all the UI elements in the game, then working closely with concept art to flesh out those ideas.

Set up foundational logic for the in game UI to function and adapt in a modular way depending on player count and team allocations.

Worked closely with the tech team to overcome various hurdles and fix multiple bugs that stemmed from using the Common UI plug in for Unreal Engine.

Iterated upon in game UI controls visibility to find the optimal way to onboard players in a group without slowing down fast paced gameplay.

Set up logic for the end game screen where the player in last is flown off the screen by a seagull, and the UI reflects the scores with dynamic sizing.
