Company: Skillprint
Timeline: 2022 - 2023
Role: Head of Product Design
I joined Skillprint in late 2021 as the founding designer, partnering closely with the founding team to define the brand, product, and user experience. Skillprint's mission was to revolutionize personal development by turning casual gaming into actionable insights.
Collaborating with the CEO and Head of Product, I brought Skillprint’s vision to life by shaping the brand identity, enhancing the marketing site, and designing the core SaaS platform. I spearheaded the creation of a cohesive design system that balanced visual appeal and accessibility, supporting the platform's diverse audience.
Additionally, I bridged gaps in product management, prioritizing feature development, refining user flows, and collaborating with engineers to ensure timely delivery. My efforts elevated design quality across the organization and empowered junior team members to develop their skills.
Our long-term vision spanned a five-year horizon and included several key components:
- Building tools to assess cognitive and emotional strengths from gameplay data.
- Developing an accessible user experience for players, educators, and employers.
- Crafting dashboards for game developers to visualize user insights.
- I conducted user research with a variety of stakeholders, including casual gamers, educational consultants, and hiring managers, to ensure Skillprint’s features aligned with real-world needs.
From creating the interaction, design, micro-animations, documentation, backend requirements, and QA.
Research and Vision for Skillprint
Conceptualized a first-time user experience to onboard players seamlessly and introduce them to Skillprint’s capabilities.
Designed an interactive dashboard for users to explore their cognitive and emotional insights in an intuitive, visually engaging way.
Developed tools for developers to integrate Skillprint analytics into their games, empowering them with actionable insights on player behavior and engagement.
Snapshots of the platform included:
- Personalized gameplay analytics highlighting user strengths and growth areas.
- Visualizations of cognitive and emotional skills derived from game data.
- Recommendations for career paths and skill development tailored to user performance.
- Tools for developers to track game engagement and enhance player retention.
I supplied the mockups of all the possible layouts within a module, written documentation of the business requirements, animation, and AEM authoring dialogue to kick off the development process. This had later become the work process for junior designers to follow coming into this project.
During my time at Skillprint, I led initiatives that onboarded hundreds of new users to the platform and improved retention by introducing a more engaging and personalized experience. My work on Skillprint’s developer tools helped expand partnerships with game studios, boosting integration opportunities and setting the stage for future growth.
Skillprint’s mission to use gaming as a tool for personal and professional development remains a testament to how innovation and thoughtful design can empower individuals to unlock their full potential. My time there allowed me to contribute meaningfully to an evolving industry and lay the foundation for a product that inspires curiosity, growth, and learning.
