The text on the image reads "Meet the Crew; Captain Lylia Fauvel; UX Designer; What do you do at studio black flag?; I make sure the gaming experience is on point. It can be as simple as where buttons are or tougher questions about how to show things. My goal is to make sure players understand what they have to do & that they have challenges through their gaming session, but not frustrations due to the game not working.; Why did you want to work for Studio Black Flag?; I first loved the game, with its original plot and the fact that everything was yet to be done. It was a great challenge incoming! then I also fell in love with the Studio’s values & team.
