Vetted Design Professionals

“UE5 gameplay scripter focused on shipping-quality, player-facing systems in Blueprints—recently built a pickup-and-throw mechanic end-to-end with animation/physics integration, robust edge-case handling, and QA/debug tooling. Emphasizes modular, data-driven architecture for designer-friendly tuning, and uses Unreal/Blueprint profiling plus event-driven patterns to keep systems performant and scalable.”

“Versatile graphic designer and motion designer with a background as a tattoo artist and co-owner of a creative project, combining handmade typography/calligraphy with vector logo and marketing communications. Served as art director on marketing creative (including 3D motion) for Zenly, coordinating with a studio and marketing stakeholders and contributing to strong engagement in Japan and a successful US launch. Also produces brand-led After Effects promotional videos (e.g., real-estate/AI agent concept integrating Salesforce).”

“Game designer specializing in multiplayer mode and systems design across casual party and vehicular hero-shooter projects (Oink Splash Party, Rivals Hover League), with hands-on UE5 Blueprint prototyping for a Souls-like combat loop (Medieval Silence). Known for playtest-driven iteration that fixes degenerate strategies and improves pacing/teamplay (e.g., core-meltdown, kill-confirmed/resurrection events, radar/minimap disruption), plus designing non-predatory progression systems blending battle pass, contracts, and level-up rewards.”

“UX Designer who has shipped end-to-end mobile and web experiences, including a student library companion app integrated with Canvas to reduce navigation friction and overwhelm. Also built information architecture and navigation for a bead e-commerce site (Beadalon) using Miro/WordPress/WooCommerce and validated improvements via analytics. Has experience designing a mental-health journaling companion with guided prompts and sketching based on student interviews and prototype testing.”

“Founder of René Estes, LLC and creator of Video Mentor, an ed-tech SaaS platform for teaching video production and film criticism, initially built after a $2M partnership exit/settlement and later paused/repositioned during the pandemic. Now seeking a co-founder and weighing fundraising vs. continued product refinement; also focused on growing Colorado’s film industry (sound stage expansion) and was selected for the cover of Top 100 Innovators and Entrepreneurs 2026.”

“Game economy/balancing designer who owned the economy for "Parliament" and rebuilt progression by introducing an active/passive ability system powered by an earn-and-spend currency. Uses spreadsheet-based TTK modeling plus telemetry KPIs and repeated playtests to tune difficulty, pacing, and scaling, and has experience aligning cross-functional teams around contentious economy/difficulty changes.”

“Casual mobile game designer (Unity-focused) with a psychology background who uses player research and BI analytics to drive retention and revenue. Led major difficulty rebalancing across thousands of levels (reported +5–10% retention lift) and partnered with engineering/art to create a parameter-driven level generation pipeline that quadrupled chapter output and increased release cadence.”

“Product/UX designer with strong front-end engineering capability who builds and deploys functional prototypes (React, Tailwind, Vercel) and bridges design-to-code via tokenized design systems. Has designed an AI-driven e-commerce fit/3D scanning experience (progressive disclosure, stress-map feedback) and is currently digitizing mass-casualty incident triage with haptics and spatially consistent, non-visual interactions to reduce medic distraction and error under extreme stress.”

“Real-time VFX artist with hands-on Unity experience (VFX Graph, Particle System, Shader Graph) who builds effects end-to-end—from low-poly Blender meshes to staged, timed VFX in-engine. Has demonstrated optimization work by rebuilding a particle-heavy lightning hand effect into a mesh+shader solution to reduce overdraw and GPU load while maintaining visual quality.”

“Marketing designer with portfolio spanning full event branding (Ileya Fest) and bilingual (Arabic/English) app marketing for Iqraa, including social and flyer creative that supported 2,000+ users in the first 2–3 weeks post-launch. Also built a scalable Figma design system for a warehouse SaaS product and produced an investor proposal deck that helped the event secure more funding.”

“UI/UX Team Lead who built a design system from the ground up for Find Me (mobile + responsive web), focusing on reusable components, Figma variable-based workflows, and high-fidelity cross-functional handoff. Also designed an AI-driven predictive weather/travel comparison experience that simplifies complex climate data via a comparison model and layered UI, and uses prototyping to validate flows and catch issues early.”
