Hello! My name is Juan Morales-Rocha and I am a Game UX Designer!
I’ve had the chance to work on some pretty great projects while taking on the roles of a game designer and researcher with background in UX. While I can’t share some of my latest projects due to NDAs, I’ve included a few samples of my work below. Thank you for checking out my portfolio and please let me know if you have any questions! Take care!
Supersonic Rhyme Chamber is a rap and rhythm game that is currently under development. I’m taking on the role of Creative Director for the project while leading UI/UX efforts within our small team at No Static Games!
Since the project is still in the works, I’m not sharing too much about it quite yet. However, I’m happy to send you a sample of the work by request, which includes wireframes, storyboards and prototypes.

I took on the role of AGPM Academic Adviser at UC Santa Cruz for a few years where I advised, mentored and advocated for students pursuing a degree in Art & Design: Games + Playable Media.
It was a great opportunity to develop a UX mindset by working closely with students to try and understand their needs, and see how we might improve their experience navigating the program.
