2020-2021

Some projects start as passion. This one became an opportunity.

After publishing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Web Experience, the work began circulating within the gaming and design community, recognised for how it translated the video gameโ€™s atmosphere into an engaging and visually rich digital experience. In 2020, that momentum led to an invitation to co-create an unofficial companion app designed to live alongside the game. The aim was to evolve my original concept designs into a real, usable product. Those concepts received direct praise and positive feedback from the gameโ€™s creators at CD Projekt Red, who officially approved and supported the appโ€™s independent publication.

I joined fellow creators Jon Fulton (iOS development) and Tim Hughes (Android development) to shape the direction and overall experience of the app. Building on the visual language I had already established, I led the interface and UX direction โ€” defining screen structures, style guidelines, and creating UI elements and visual assets โ€” while Jon and Tim handled interaction logic and full native development across both platforms.

Together, we delivered a functional companion app centred around key gameplay-support systems, including the Bestiary and Alchemy sections, offering detailed information on monsters, items, recipes, and requirements to support gameplay in real time. My role focused on balancing usability and clarity with the dark, grounded atmosphere of the Witcher universe, ensuring the app felt like a natural extension of the game rather than a detached utility.
