• Ability to import, organize, and integrate 2D art assets (icons, backgrounds, characters, etc.) into Unity projects with correct compression, pivot points, and layer sorting.

• Attention to detail and consistency in UI visual language, ensuring alignment with the art direction and overall game design.
