ABOUT KATAI TANG

I’m a multi-disciplinary Creative Motion + Interactive Designer with over 15 years of experience in gaming and digital entertainment. I began my career as an award-winning broadcast designer, then transitioned into VFX and cinematics at Electronic Arts, contributing to iconic franchises such as Command & Conquer and The Lord of the Rings. This foundation in storytelling and technical craft naturally led me toward interactive and experience design.I later shifted into UX/UI design at Zynga and co-founded Superweapon Games, which was acquired by Kabam. Most recently, as Principal UI Designer at Scopely, I helped shape the vision and direction for titles including Marvel Strike Force, Avatar: Pandora Rising, and other unannounced projects, driving creative alignment across teams through high-fidelity animatics that visualize full-motion user flows. In this role, I partner with product managers, game designers, engineers, and tech artists to bring concepts to life—from initial idea to in-engine implementation.Looking ahead, I’m deeply interested in the future of real-time and interactive design tools like Rive, which merge design, animation, and runtime performance into a seamless creative pipeline. I’m also exploring workflow innovations with Framer, Uizard, and Adobe Sensei, leveraging AI to accelerate iteration.Core Skills• Design & UX/UI: Figma, Sketch, wireframing, prototyping, user flows, interaction design, accessibility, design systems• Motion & Visual: After Effects, Trapcode Suite, Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema 4D, micro-interactions, motion language systems• Interactive & Game Tools: Unity 3D, Element 3D, real-time UI, VFX optimization, animatics, pipeline integration• Collaboration & Strategy: Cross-functional team alignment, product collaboration, mentoring, concept-to-implementation workflow
