XDefiant is a free-to-play first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft San Francisco that launched in May 2024. Ubisoft had one of their biggest ever game launches with XDefiant, attracting over 11 Million players in the first two weeks.
As the Lead UI Artist, I managed an incredible team of UX/UI Designers and together we created the user interface for the game. During my nearly 3 years on the project, we built the UI from the ground up.

As an individual contributor, I created UI mockups and art assets across Monetization, Progression, Gameplay and other cells. I provided art direction for 2D cosmetic items like player cards and emojis, badges and emblems.
The comprehensive UI style guides that we developed were essential in onboarding co-devs and a remote workforce of over 30 UI designers as they arrived on the project.
The UI team worked hard to champion accessibility and localization needs in XDefiant. Towards the end of the project we had a chance to sit down for an interview on the subject.
