The gaming industry is notoriously difficult to "break into" because the rules of UX change when the goal isn't just efficiency; it’s fun, engagement, and immersion. I’ve navigated this transition across the entire spectrum: from global giants like Zynga to high growth Indian studios like Hike and Mayhem Studios.

If you have the design chops but don't know how to translate them for the unique demands of players and decentralized systems, this 45-minute session is your roadmap.

In this call, we’ll dive into:

  • The Gaming Pivot: How to translate traditional UX skills into "Game UX" language that recruiters actually value.
  • The Web3 Frontier: Deep-diving into the UX of Blockchain and NFT based games, how to build complex infrastructure that actually feels like a game.
  • Portfolio Positioning: What a Gaming Hiring Manager looks for (Hint: It’s about player psychology and retention loops).
  • Direct Q&A: Real-talk about the industry, from AAA studios to the Wild West of Web3 gaming.
