As a senior product & design manager at Late Checkout, I worked with the team at Epic Games to develop an RSVP system for Fortnite.

Estimated viewers of the Fortnite Rift Tour virtual concert
Background
With over 650 million players, Fortnite has grown immensely since its release in 2017, cementing itself in pop culture.
A pivotal moment in the game's trajectory was when it began hosting concerts featuring artists like Marshmello, Travis Scott, and Ariana Grande.
This opened Fortnite up to new audiences and required new UX to facilitate virtual events.
Project
With a broad brief about encouraging gen-z to indicate their intent to attend Fortnite events, I first concepted and pitched a comprehensive "intend to play Fortnite" system.
This direction was well received by the Epic team but soon after, due to time constraints, we set the scope of the project to event-specific UX.
Reception
The event was attended by millions of people and was reported on by numerous tech & gaming publications.
The intent-to-attend tab was heavily trafficked and well-received by the Fortnite community.
With local AI being on-device and free to run repeatedly, I set out to build an 'always on' AI writing assistant but pivoted after uncovering the real bottleneck in my writing: formulating a crisp point of view.

Signals for showing up—to friends and feeds—without the doom-scroll.
With agents owning the structure of web design, it can be difficult to understand what's going on, and ensure that elements align, and relate to each other in the ways you want. I built Redline to replace using the native screenshot tool as a makeshift ruler, and for quicker access to a clearer DOM.
My first love was making things.
I went to a public fine arts high school and learned to make drawings, ceramics, etchings, photographs, and paintings. Then OCAD University where I learned to make furniture, toys for kids with special needs, and websites. Now, I make AI-powered apps that lighten your load at work, and fun, experimental ones to use throughout the day.
My second love was technology.
I believe in technology as an evolutionary force, as described by Kevin Kelly. I believe that it's in our nature to build tools that improve circumstances for ourselves and others.
Design is how I combine my first and second love.
I believe in design as a way of expressing love to the person using your product, as described by Jony Ive. The best way to demonstrate care for someone is to show up for them, solve a problem for them.
I wake up excited every day to make something. I'm grateful for the journey so far, and for the support along the way.
