THE STUDIO
Small on purpose. Senior by default.
Strategic Sloth LLC is a founder-led studio. You work with the person who designs the interface, not an account manager, and the team grows around the project when it needs to.
FOUNDER · LEADS EVERY PROJECT
Guillaume “Remi” Couture
Twenty years designing game interfaces, from Club Penguin at Disney to MechWarrior 5 at Piranha Games, Dauntless at Phoenix Labs and three years on Squad at Offworld. As UX Director at AppLovin he set the standards for nine mobile studios at once.
He started Strategic Sloth to do the whole job: design the flow, make it look right, animate it and build it where it runs. The studio also makes its own games and tools, which keeps the practice honest about what shipping takes.

SPECIALISTS ON CALL
HOW WE WORK
Four promises.
The things clients tell us they could not get from a bigger vendor.
A fixed price first
Published packages and a written scope with a fixed total before work begins.
One senior lead
Design and implementation answer to the same person, so nothing is lost between them.
In your tools
Your repository, your sprints, your engine. Work arrives as commits and builds, not just pictures.
A clean handover
Source, files, documentation and a walkthrough. Remi replies within one business day throughout.

“UI, UX, illustration and implementation Remi was a one stop shop to get stuff done. Strong recommend, would hire again.”
“Remi had a huge influence on Boom Boom Football. He applied his formidable understanding of UX to make some excellent changes to the game’s flow and followed that up with solid artistic implementation. When we lost a key screen building artist, Remi proactively learned new areas of Unity to fill that gap.”
“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Rémi on Super Battle Tactics and his efforts brought in massive improvements to the User Experience. … He regularly shared his knowledge with the rest of the team to educate everyone in thinking about User Experiences earlier in the design pipelines.”
