You would then push the design through wireframes and prototyping into helping the team create scalable UI. Designers on small teams like ours are valued not only for their ability to design for the player but also for their flexibility and enthusiasm to contribute to other disciplines and give feedback. We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the skills listed here. We understand that your qualifications may shine through in different ways and can be based on unique perspectives and experiences. Gamebreaking Studios is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
