About | Jochem Schut | Portfolio

Hi, welcome!My name is Jochem Schut

I'm an award-winning Principal UI/UX Designer and UI Artist with 35 shipped titles that reached hundreds of millions of players. Behind my 16+ years on IPs like The Division, The Walking Dead, and DC's The Dark Knight is a deep belief that great design only happens when teams feel connected. Because to me, design is about community, which is why I focus on building trust and cross-discipline relationships to foster dedication for the long haul.
