Alex Circo ("cheer"-co)
I'm 29, based in Romania. Love games, movies, illustration, shitbox cars, camping, summer nights and rain. I’ve been designing game UI for 8 years and recently fell in love with game dev.

I started out with fine arts at core then leaned into UI design, creating web and app designs. Then in 2016 joined Spiderling Studios as a UI Artist to work on Besiege. Since then, I’ve focused fully on game UI, working with studios like Spiderling Studios, XFuture Technology, Yambo Studios, HostAile Games, and more.
