Responsibilities

Game Design
Led the design of a new digital game prototype to fit in alongside current NYT Games branding. This included design research, wireframes, playtesting, tutorial writing, and documentation. 

Project Management
I led a team of 5 engineering, product design, and data analyst interns on the development of the prototype; this was the first game that my team members had ever worked on. It is the first NYT Games prototype to be released simultaneously on Web, iOS, and Android.
Case Study: Building Animatic

I documented the game development process (from concept to launch) in an article for the NYT Open Team. I was the primary author for the article which can be read on Medium below:
