Hi, I'm Raphael Lopes, UX/UI Designer with a background in graphic design, remotly working from Brazil.
As a Designer, I had the chance to work in several areas such as advertising, branding, graphic design and product design.
Video games is present in my life since my childhood with my old Odyssey 2. So in 2018, I started in the game industry as a UI Artist. Since then I've been helping teams at companies such as Supercell and Wildlife Studios to solve problems through design, from user flows, wireframes and prototypes to UI art and other visual assets for game interfaces.
Even though I'm a Designer in my core, I also see myself as a game artist. So in my spare time I like to learn by doing things on different areas such as 3D illustration, digital sculpting, indie game development (art & code), art direction and others.
