Two Fall Guys nameplates and four emote icons. The first nameplate shows a cute goldfish Fall Guy costume posing against an abstract purple koi pond. The second nameplate shows a bowl of noodles against a pink and orange wavy background. The emotes show a Fall Guy using a VR headset, doing a ninja roll, doing a Sumo Wrestler move, and spinning like a top

The nameplate shows a Fall Guy Life Guard costume with a red lifejacket and blonder hair, posing against a tropical beach background with surfboards in the distance. The emotes show a Fall Guy doing a crab dance, running in slow motion, sunbathing, and playing a ukelele.

It's been a while since I shared some of my Fall Guys UI work, so here's some recent nameplates and emote icons! ☀️🍜🐟

This week I can finally share my first ever published UI work!! 🥳

I've had an absolute blast working with the lovely folks at Mediatonic on the one and only Fall Guys! I never imagined I'd be working on a game that's loved by so many - myself included - and I can't wait to share more!

Am I in love with them regardless? Absolutely.

I'm loving it! Very similar to Overwatch in many ways, but I'm finding it a bit easier to pick up (I'm usually awful at shooters!). The characters and maps are a lot of fun 😁

Displaying a graphic of how it's not just people with permanent needs that can benefit from inclusive design, there are also temporary and situational needs. For example, someone who's deaf, vs has an ear infection, vs in a loud bar The full list, with little characters representing each is: Touch: one arm, arm injury, new parent holding a baby See: Blind, Cataract, distracted driver Hear: Deaf, ear infection, bartender Speak: non-verbal, laryngitis, heavy accent (a picture of a Viking)
