Day-to-Day Responsibilities & Leadership Approach

On an average day, I balance multiple responsibilities as both a team lead and a hands-on contributor:
• 
  Collaboration & Meetings: I participate in daily stand-ups, feature-specific discussions, playtests, and cross-team syncs. These meetings cover live-service features I oversee, as well as planning for upcoming game iterations.
• 
  Feature Development & Strategy: Over the past three years, I have contributed to both live-service features and the development of future game iterations. This includes reviewing key stakeholder priorities, aligning with production, and actively participating in team roadmapping and planning. I frequently collaborate with engineering leads to navigate major pivots driven by stakeholder decisions and player feedback, ensuring swift and effective iterations.
• 
  Team Management & Growth: As a lead, my focus is on balancing project execution with fostering my team’s growth. I invest time in mentoring designers, refining their UX/UI skills, and aligning their projects with career aspirations. Regular 1-on-1s ensure that discussions center around their goals, challenges, and opportunities for growth.
• 
  Process Optimization & Cross-Team Coordination: I actively work across production and other departments to streamline workflows and improve efficiencies. Over the past three years, I have collaborated directly with production leads to refine feature development pipelines, ensuring better cross-discipline communication and alignment on deadlines.

My Leadership Philosophy

My leadership style is still evolving, but I focus on three key principles:
• 
  Career Growth & Coaching: I take the time to understand my team’s individual career aspirations, aligning their work with their long-term goals. I provide guidance on UX best practices, hands-on Figma support, and general industry mentorship.
• 
  Empowering Open Communication: Regular check-ins are centered on what my team wants to discuss, rather than my own agenda. I maintain an open-door policy for both professional challenges and personal concerns, ensuring they feel supported in their roles. Often I will create action items for myself to keep track of their progress and how I can support them.
• 
  Proactive Problem-Solving: If a project is not on track for success, I work closely with production and other teams to course-correct early. My goal is to create an environment where designers feel empowered to do their best work while maintaining realistic expectations and deadlines.

Future UX/UI Leadership Impact:

To further strengthen my role as a UX/UI lead, I aim to:
• 
  Expand UX Research Integration: Increase direct involvement in usability testing and analytics reviews to ensure UX insights drive design decisions earlier in development.
• 
  Develop Scalable UX/UI Guidelines: Establish more standardized documentation and design principles to streamline decision-making and onboarding for new designers.
• 
  Enhance Collaboration Between UX & Engineering: Strengthen cross-discipline workshops to align UX vision with technical constraints earlier in the pipeline.>
• 
  Champion Accessibility & Inclusive Design: Continue pushing for accessibility best practices across all UX/UI features, advocating for improvements that benefit a diverse player base.
