05 / WHO YOU WORK WITH
Remi Couture has designed game interfaces for twenty years: MechWarrior 5 at Piranha Games, Dauntless at Phoenix Labs, three years on Squad at Offworld, and UX Director across nine mobile studios at AppLovin.
He leads every project personally. Engineers, artists and producers he trusts join under the same lead when the scope grows, so you never manage a new vendor.
06 / IN THEIR WORDS
LinkedIn recommendations from Remi’s managers, teammates and clients.
“UI, UX, illustration and implementation Remi was a one stop shop to get stuff done. Strong recommend, would hire again.”
“Remi created an entire UX workflow and pipeline neither of which previously existed in any form at the studio. … not only up to the task of making the game more playable, but to also create entire workflows, that are still in use today.”
“Remi has a fantastic understanding of UX/UI needs in gaming. Working with him on my project was not only exactly what we needed, but was informative and a great learning opportunity for my team.”
