### Senior Product Designer @ SimpleBet

I’m responsible for delivering an engaging experience on our free-to-play game, PlayAction, which we offer through FanDuel.

I create prototypes that allow users to bet (for real!) on past games by syncing data and UI updates to timestamps in game recordings. By learning what users want to bet on, I inform our PlayAction designs and provide direction for our Data Science team, advising them on what bet types they should model next.

I design a variety of internal tools we use, such as our dashboard that allows us to monitor real-time data feeds.

I created and continuously iterate on branded templates for all internal and external facing decks.
