VR & Game UI
From narrative-driven VR to shipped mobile games: designing interfaces that serve the experience, not interrupt it.
01. Fire Escape: A VR Training Prototype
A self-directed Unity prototype exploring how narrative structure can drive UI decisions in immersive safety training.
My Role: UI & Interaction Designer: spatial UI systems, interaction logic, scene design and narrative copywriting. Built in collaboration with one engineer
02. Commercial/ Concept Game UI: Visual Design & Layout
01
Cloud City: Casual mobile RPG
A cozy RPG centered around character customization. I designed a soft, pastel UI with clear visual hierarchy, keeping navigation intuitive without sacrificing the lighthearted tone.
02
Hero Collection: Chibi Mobile Strategy
A chibi-style strategy game balancing cuteness with data density. I designed organized screens that surface a lot of hero information without feeling cluttered, cute and clear at the same time.
03
Design Concept
Soft, pudding-like curves guide the eye and maintain clarity, while neon pink highlights key actions without overwhelming the interface.
My Final thought on this project, and areas for future growth:
Retention is a system problem, not a feature problem.
I started by designing individual screens. It didn't work until I stopped thinking in screens and started thinking in loops. The Route Map alone didn't improve retention. Route Map connected to Mission connected to Challenge did.
Gamification has a ceiling.
Adding more game mechanics doesn't make users stay longer. The moment I stripped Store down from functional power-ups to cosmetic-only items, engagement logic became clearer. Less mechanics, more emotional investment.
I designed the UI before testing the loop. That was backwards.
The pixel-perfect screens looked great in my portfolio but I had no evidence the five-system loop actually held together. Next time I'd validate the system with paper prototypes before opening Figma.
