  • UI and UX Direction: Oversee the look and feel of in-experience UI, HUDs, icons, shop interfaces, and onboarding flows so every touchpoint is clear, on-brand, and intuitive for Roblox players.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration: Collaborate with Game Designers, Producers, Creative Directors, and Sawhorse's commercial production and post teams to align art with gameplay, narrative, and campaign goals.
  • Client Presentations: Present creative direction, work-in-progress, and final art to clients and stakeholders, incorporating feedback while protecting the creative vision.
  • Marketing and Launch Assets: Direct key art, experience thumbnails, icons, trailers, and social assets that drive discovery and engagement on and off platform.
  • Quality Control: Drive art reviews and sign-off checkpoints at every milestone to maintain a high bar for craft, consistency, and on-time delivery.
