My Role:

Product Designer

Year:

2021 - 2023

Autograph creates digital collectibles linked to real-world experiences featuring iconic figures in sports and entertainment, including Tom Brady, Tony Hawk, and Simone Biles, just to name a few. As the founding designer, I helped grow the user base from zero to over 100,000. With a talented team, we built the product from scratch and secured $35 million in Series A funding and $170 million in Series B funding.

Marketplace

The marketplace was the first thing I built and lived at the core of the business. Users could browse for collectibles, see what drops were coming up, and sell anything they didn't want to keep. Designing for Web3 was challenging at first because it was an emerging market and didn't have a lot of defined standards, but at the same time it was very cool to be a part of the movement defining those new patterns.

The Experience Token served as a blueprint for "Seasons" of content that Autograph produced with our partners. For Tom Brady, we built out a custom token-gated livestreaming service, on demand video content, and a roadmap of in-person events around the country.

At Autograph, I designed numerous custom landing pages for collectibles and drops, collaborating closely with the content team to define the creative direction. A project I particularly enjoyed involved collaborating with Internet.Game on a month-long SAW game contest. We designed a collection page featuring a dynamic banner that displayed users' health, upcoming game times, and their overall progress.

Being a part of team that is growing extremely fast is super exciting, but also comes with its challenges. Not only was the market landscape changing by the day, but so was the company. Autograph saw extreme growth in a short period of time and learning how to block out the noise and focus on the work that really matters made me a better designer.
