UX design has a greater scope than most people know. This talk is meant to enlighten studios on how UX designers can add value across multiple game development disciplines, and encourage UX designers themselves to push into/grow their skill set within these disciplines.

Takeaway

UX designers are often underutilized. Studios can make the most of their UX resources by leveraging their full range of knowledge. UX designers should ask for these opportunities in order to grow their skill set, and smaller studios should leverage the value a UX designer can provide across multiple disciplines.

Intended Audience

This talk is meant to enlighten studio leaders on how UX designers can add value across multiple game development disciplines, and encourage UX designers themselves to push into/grow their skill set within these disciplines.
