During the third year of my studies I spent sex months interning at the serious gaming company &ranj. As Visual Design Intern I contributed directly to real projects and collaboration with designers and developers. I was also able to take on additional responsibilities and develop myself further in areas such as UX design, user testing, research and project management.
As Visual Design Intern I worked on designing user interfaces, brand alignment and integration into design and conveyed educative content, emotion and storytelling through storyboards, artworks and animations.
During my time at &ranj I was able to fully delve into Figma and Adobe’s Creative Cloud programs to further improve my visual design skills. I learnt how to work with complex video editing software such as After Effects, particle systems and various editing techniques such as parallax animation.
As Visual Design Intern I worked together closely with game designers and took the initiative to learn more within this field. I developed prototypes for UX flows and helped with User Testing.
In addition I also had my own game design projects, where I was able to apply my own experience to maintain a proper design process.
During my time at &ranj, I was given the unique opportunity to become producer for an internal project. In the role of producer I led daily stand-up meetings, assigned tasks, held sprint retrospectives and managed the project backlog.
I also focused on supporting my team, creating a comfortable work environment and ensuring everyone had what they needed for their work.
