Blankos Block Party
Role: UX Game Design
Team Size: 14
Overview: I was in charge of leading the user experience and user interface of the Blankos game.
What are Blankos? Blankos are fun and mischievous vinyl toys brought to life! Inhabiting in their own offbeat world, they live the fleek life focusing on good vibes and good times! These incredible Blanko toy characters are designed by the players themselves and are brought to life when they hear their music!

My Role: I took on the responsibility of crafting the onboarding experience for first-time players. With the objective of making it simple and enjoyable, I aimed to engage users while leveraging their familiarity with similar activities. Additionally, I performed quality assurance (QA) to ensure a seamless user experience. Moreover, I designed the system layout for various platforms including the Nintendo Switch, computer and mouse, as well as the Xbox controller.
