The Pocket Mentor for Video Game UX UI

Simon Brewer started working in the games industry in 2008 at Rebellion, where he discovered his natural skills and deep appreciation for the industry. An avid gamer and a natural investigator, he soon found himself thriving in the User Interface team and has enjoyed many years in various senior roles since. Simon has worked on several titles for Rebellion, Gree, Rocksteady, Unbroken, Sony, and Supermassive Games and provides freelance work as a self-employed graphic designer. His passion for accessibility and equity in gaming transcends his love of the industry, demonstrated through his many fundraising events, mentorship, and, more recently, his work with BAFTA Young Game Designers. Outside work, Simon enjoys watching movies, spending time with family and friends and perfecting his smoked brisket as an amateur pit master. These days, Simon works as Principal UI/UX Designer for Supermassive Games in Guildford and lives in Surrey with his partner and little Dachshund, Chorizo. artstation.com/bunnyballball linkedin.com/in/simon-brewer-221b5524/ x.com/bunny_ballball
