The hero character is my own original design
Experience · 10 Years On the Front Line
From web and TV to MMO, up to a top-tier anime mobile title — one direction, deepened over a decade.
Design Decisions
Rather than finishing a screen, I focus on making every single design decision.
Pin down the real problem this UI must solve; once the direction drifts, precision loses its meaning.
Anchor to mature UI and concept references — fix the coordinates first, then create.
From the reference’s layout, function and shapes I extract a skeleton that can be reshaped into the target function — seeing a form, I remake it into what’s needed rather than copy it.
While swapping the surface elements, I reverse-engineer the design principle, layout logic and hierarchy — turning “reference” into “understanding.”
Set the overall character first (rhythm, tension, contrast), then guide the eye, then polish details — controlling the visual focus for the user, leaving only what should be seen.
