In 2023-2024, I collaborated with the publisher Helvetiq on the board game Yaxha.
Like a tightrope walker
Designing a board game is a challenge—all elements must work together seamlessly. The visuals need to be clear, engaging, and functional without feeling busy.
I went through the process step by step: I first made a sketch for each design and created a final vector version.
I played around with different color palettes, while keeping in mind the aesthetics, the publisher’s preferences, readability, and cultural references.

Some designs didn’t make it into the final game. But since I created them with care and passion, I’m happy to share them here.
