From a bold idea to a platform people could use.

As a founding team member, I helped turn athlete-led instruction and conversational AI into a product across iOS, Android, and web.

THE CHALLENGE

A new technology is only valuable when people know what to do with it.

The product needed to make interactive expert instruction understandable and coordinate delivery across several platforms.

What I owned

I led research, design, and development with four UX designers, two UI designers, and ten developers.

01 / THE PROCESS

Audience research

Four weeks of audience studies with research and marketing partners shaped the product direction and content strategy.

02 / THE PROCESS

Conversational athlete experiences

Athlete discovery, learning topics, and conversational video brought expert instruction into one experience. Learners could find an athlete, explore their expertise, and ask questions.

03 / THE PROCESS

A coordinated delivery model

Three teams across four time zones and two continents worked against a seven-month schedule. I divided UX into four batches, with stakeholder feedback and design review before UI and development moved forward in parallel.

04 / THE PROCESS

Leadership through team change

When the development team changed, I vetted, hired, and onboarded replacements. As Senior Product Manager and Scrum Master, I maintained product context and the delivery rhythm.

RESULTS & REFLECTION

A product vision became a launched experience.

iOS and Android launched in June 2022, followed by the marketing website and web app. I connected audience research, product design, delivery planning, and team leadership through launch.
