Tribaliii · Desktop sandbox creator platform

A no-code creator platform for building playable Worlds

I designed the creator journey across Creative Mode, Publish, and Play Mode with a cross-functional Agile team.

Role: UI Designer
Team: Cross-functional Agile team
Delivery: 12 Agile sprints

Build and publish a World without writing code.

For the MVP, we focused on one complete flow: choose or create a World, build it with supported assets and controls, publish it, and enter Play Mode.

Choose a World

Start from a template or an empty world.

Defining the MVP

The wider product vision included characters, Marketplace, social features, collaboration, and multiple gameplay directions. With limited delivery capacity, we prioritized one path: choose or create, build, publish, and play.

I designed the creator flow and UI with the team.

I worked closely with the Product Owner, Scrum Master, developers, and other designers. I designed the user flows, navigation, interaction states, reusable components, and high-fidelity desktop UI.

Design and development moved forward together.

Across 12 two-week sprints, I clarified requirements, mapped flows, reviewed designs with the team, answered development questions, and updated the UI.

What I designed

I turned product requirements and gameplay rules into the MVP flow, screen layouts, interaction states, and reusable UI components.

Creative ModeThe World view, asset library, object selection, and editing controls.
Reusable UINavigation, components, and patterns for review and ongoing development.
Clickable prototypesPrototypes of selected flows, used in team reviews.

One connected path from creation to play.

I delivered high-fidelity screens, clickable prototypes of selected flows, key Creative Mode and Play Mode states, and reusable UI components. The team used these designs for review and ongoing development. The product had not launched when I left.
