Saints Row 2022
I wore a couple of different hats at Volition. From an Art QA analyst to a UI artist, I was part of the team from 2018 to 2022.On Saints Row, I worked with fellow UI artists and engineers to support the other departments at Volition. I helped in mocking up art and flow to setting up the final assets implementation and final polish. You can check out more down below!
Playlist App
I mocked up the playlist app and worked with our UI engineers to implement it. The main menu banner was created by our talented shader artists.

ABILITY RADIAL
With the help of our tech artists, I created the ability radial mockup and saw it through 'til polish.

CAMERA APP
I updated the Camera App's visuals after the initial app was created.

Upon taking the picture, a reward banner slides in and the green highlight goes white.
IMPLEMENTATION
I also did polish on assets created by other artists within UI for completion. The finisher circle is an example of this.
I worked with a senior artist to create 2D murals that looked 3D rendered. These are the screens we use as mission reward slams.The mural art was outsourced.
