I had the opportunity to work on all of the General Mills campaigns in 2009, one of Nicktropolis's largest sponsors. The games I helped build and design were enjoyed for an average of 48 minutes per user per week and played by over 7,000,000 users.
2009 brought the invention of The Big Green Help movement to nicktropolis. We incorporated many of the campaign's main elements and branding but still kept a Nicktropolis vibe thru it all. In the end the kids had a great time cleaning up Nicktropolis and making a difference. Nickelodeon, in its 28th year as the number-one entertainment brand for kids, launched a Massive Online Multiplayer Roleplaying Game named Nicktropolis. I was lead design on many projects by the end and responsible for client reviews and ensuring a quality product shipped from the team. With half a year the Nicktropolis team and I had 4 million registered users and an average time spent per week of 43.4 minutes. Since launching, Nicktropolis has garnered approximately 14 million visits and almost 500 million page views, along with a total of 108 million game plays (averaging 37 million a month). While there I won many awards and was featured in international news. Featured in NY Times

General Mills presented a team of students a challenge for creating new product delivery systems. I was involved with the research, design, and quality testing phases. Working closely with General Mills we traveled around the northeast documenting outlet stores, family shopping habits, and home interactions. I focused on the print design creation and test documenting the prototypes in family homes. These experiences allowed me to gain a strong respect and understanding of dedicated team dynamics.
