0x.shop

Strategic product planning, design, and development.

0x.shop is a new platform that allows retailers to create sales widgets, offering exclusive offers to customers. My roles included the logo design, branding, graphic design, product design, HTML, CSS/SCSS, JavaScript, and collaborating on the NextJS development.

The public-facing sales widget allows retailers to sell anything they have listed on Shopify paired with exclusive offers. Offer capabilities include discounts as well as free redemptions. Offers currently leverage web3 token gates. In the near future offers will also include social media gates as well as email gates.

The dashboard leverages Dub's open-source components and layouts using Tailwind. Added elements and customizations to help guide the user through making their sales widgets and configuring offers.

Nifty's

Leadership experience as head of design at Nifty's

The NFT bull-market was exciting. During that time I was lucky to work with some extremely talented people at Nifty's. For the past 2 years I focused on building NFT experiences. Nifty's sold 100,000 Matrix NFTs (in 15 hours). I worked with world-class companies including Warner Bros., Discovery, Sony, and HBO. IP included The Matrix, Looney Tunes, Bullet Train, Shark Week, and Game of Thrones.

Responsibilities included working with the product team to unsterstand requirements, running the internal design team to meet or exceed requirements, and facilitate a positive relationship with the engineering team (and also occasionally helping them build features).

Nifty's exited to MoonPay in June, 2023.
