- Define UX behavior for navigation, input, responsiveness, accessibility considerations, onboarding, engagement loops, gameplay HUD elements, and live-service touchpoints
- Collaborate with UI Engineering and UI Technical Design to address implementation questions and resolve edge cases
- Work with VFX and sound stakeholders to ensure interaction feedback, UI motion, and celebratory moments align with the intended player experience
