Most recently I worked with this exciting startup to help create interactive content for young readers using the newly developed Kibeam wand, an AI-driven aural augmented reality tool that helps chidren learn how to read - without a screen! My role included designing the User Guide, creating gameplay using the wand’s audio feedback and motion sensors, using AI content creation tools to help write scripts that fit each book, directing voice talent, and working closely with Technical Designers to deliver the intended experience.

As the Director of Game Design and Development I led my team to develop brand new content for the Lumosity brain training app (over 100 million members). From early concepts and Unity prototyping to final game tuning and polish, I worked closely with cognitive scientists, artists, engineers, and brand management to ensure every new game was meeting the needs of our customers both in terms of brain challenge and fun factor.

In this phase of my time at Lumos I focused more on developing content for our flagship brain training app Lumosity. I developed my day to day team leadership skills as well as being the voice for game design in our long term product planning.

This design role at Lumos was expanded to include all aspects of our user experience including content, gameplay, and product flow. Together with my highly creative Unity team we launched a brand new iOS app designed to inspire creativity on a daily basis: Figment by Lumosity! Each day you get a variety of fun activities to spark your imagination and help you build creative confidence.

As Senior Product Designer I led my team to explore new and inspiring science-based cognitive product ideas through ideation, prototyping, and user testing.
