Company Description
Hyperbond Studio is building the next generation of emotionally intelligent AI applications. We focus on creating experiences that deeply immerse, engage, and bond with users. Our vision is to lead a new category of "hyperbonded applications": AI-powered products that form emotional connections with users to transform how people learn, grow, and play.
About The Game
Project S is not your typical language learning app. It’s a gamified, anime-inspired, emotionally intelligent experience where users bond with AI characters while learning Japanese. Imagine a blend of Duolingo × Visual Novel × Gacha Game — built for fans of anime, mobile games, and immersive storytelling.
We’re looking for a highly creative UI/UX Designer who can help elevate the app’s visual identity into something as polished, playful, and dynamic as a modern mobile RPG. This isn’t corporate SaaS UI — it’s emotional, stylized, and full of personality.
What You'll Do
- Design high-fidelity UI for complex in-app systems: chat, inventory, RPG overlays, leaderboards, gacha, event banners, agent profiles, etc.
- Create stylized mobile game UI with animated elements, layered components, and character-focused layouts
- Develop intuitive UX flows for interacting with Sensei agents, navigating between chat modes, tracking progress, and accessing features
- Create UI kits, style guides, and components in Figma for development handoff
- Collaborate with Unity devs and character designers to ensure seamless integration of UI and animation
- Design promotional assets like event screens, login bonuses, and shop layouts
- Ensure mobile responsiveness (iOS and Android), localization readiness, and visual consistency
You're a Fit If You...
- Have 2–5 years of experience in UI/UX design for mobile apps or games
- Can turn complex systems into delightful, stylish, and intuitive user flows
- Are proficient in Figma (or Sketch/Adobe XD), and have experience building design systems
- Have a strong visual design sense: layout, typography, color, motion
- Understand the aesthetic of anime games, visual novels, or gacha apps
- Are collaborative, iterative, and can handle feedback from both product and creative teams
- Bonus: Experience working with Unity developers or game UI implementation
Bonus Points For
- Background in mobile games, edtech apps, or interactive storytelling platforms
- Knowledge of localization and supporting multi-language layouts (especially Japanese)
- Motion design or simple UI animation skills (After Effects, Lottie, etc.)
- Understanding of UX for emotionally responsive systems (e.g., affection levels, agent reactions, etc.)
Work Setup
- Fully remote with async team structure (Asia time zones preferred but flexible)
- Contract or full-time depending on availability and skill match
- Tooling: Figma, Notion, Discord, Unity (for implementation review)
How to Apply
Send us:
- Your portfolio or case studies (we especially love game-style UI!)
- A quick note on why you’re a fit for Project S
- (Optional) Your favorite anime game or app UI and why
