UXisFine! is the champion for UX and intention in design in game development. Founded by games industry veterans, we integrate deeply into our partner teams, giving you the opportunity to work side by side with some of the best developers and publishers in the industry.

UXisFine! can provide you the opportunity to finally do UX the right way. Here we push the envelope of game developers’ perspective on UX and leverage tools like emotional motivators, personas, journey maps, and more – we don’t just wireframe (though we do plenty of that), we get to know the exact point of intersection between product and user goals. Game development is hungry for the unique perspective we offer. 

In order to deliver on our promise, we need more great UXers to support our mission of bringing incredible game experiences to life across all platforms and audiences, while pushing the envelope of UX as a craft.
