Product Abstractions

Amplitude

Working in partnership with my senior designer, we were tasked with building out a library of high and mid fidelity abstractions of the product. Previously teams had been using actual screenshots of the product that were not high resolution and difficult to customize or tasking the product design team to be pulled from their work for marketing needs. My teammate created first landscape high-fidelity product screens of nearly 30 instances, while I took each of these instances and made a square-aspect, deconstructed and stylized version to highlight specific pieces of UI. This project was particularly expedited for mini-website refresh to coincide with our digital conference and a new product and messaging launch, giving a less than 2 week turnaround. Later iterations were fine-tuned for use in sales enablement pieces, pitch decks, and more. In addition to the library, utilizing Figma’s component instances, we were able to make this project repeatable and accessible across teams.

6 Clicks Learning Series

AMPLITUDE

Ideated the creative for the 6 Clicks learning series for Amplitude’s YouTube channel. This was one of the most successful campaigns and garnered some of the highest views on our YouTube channel. I researched best practices for YouTube tiles that can be easily consumed while standing out. The creative was also then iterated across mediums for display ads, email and landing pages, social and video.

Nasdaq Public Listing Celebration

AMPLITUDE

Responsible for creating a poster in advance of Amplitude’s Nasdaq public listing event in NYC for all employees. This poster was a high quality print and involved building a background that encompassed both the NYC setting of the bell ringing ceremony and the SF HQ celebration. Our brand colors had to be converted to CMYK and print-tested and my experience in print was highly useful. I also created a card sent with the announcement and a card sent in advance with the swag shirt for all employees to be worn in a Nasdaq broadcast behind the bell ringing.

It was the first in-person iteration of the event since 2019 with 1,000+ attendees in Las Vegas. In addition to working directly with content and technical teams before and during the event, I also created event signage throughout the hall. As well, I created a claw game and designed prototype for the Datamonster plush prize for our expo floor with less that 48 hr turnaround.

Iterated on sleeve design for in-store expansion to Best Buy, Target and other retailers.
