- Craft highly polished and performant UI tech art solutions using materials, UMG, animation, FX, lighting, Blueprints, and camera tools in UE4/5
- Build consistent visual patterns for motion, FX, UI transitions, scale, and proportion
- Establish a cohesive motion language that unifies UI behavior across screens and states
- Plan UI tech art approaches across platforms to balance visual fidelity and performance
- Own UI tech art tooling and asset management to improve team efficiency and consistency
- Create animated transitions and cinematic camera moves using Sequencer and related tools
- Implement spatial and diegetic UI solutions that blend 3D and UI through framing and post-processing
- Optimize shaders, materials, textures, and VFX to meet performance targets
- Profile runtime performance and diagnose bottlenecks in UI rendering and effects
- Partner with UX/UI and visual design to add technical polish such as hover states and micro-interactions
