Project History

Von Republic

Launched the Von Republic gamer rewards platform, where Xbox One gamer's achievements are automatically turned into Von Coins to use on daily auctions. Launched in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Ireland to nearly 100,000 downloads.

I was the product owner involved in the market analysis, planning, design, and development of the Von Republic. I also put together the go-to-market plan, ran the closed beta, and then launched the product to market in four markets. Achieved 60%+ in the product market fit customer surveys (benchmarks of 40%+ are the industry standard).

Von Bismark Wardrobe

Built and launched 'The Wardrobe,' an in-store augmented reality mirror to over one million users for brands like Vodafone, Cadbury's, and Virgin Media.

The technology was truly groundbreaking. I conceived of the product and, after validating with market research, pulled together an MVP in ten weeks, which was used by hundreds of thousands of people over the holidays. This MVP later evolved to an in-store virtual wardrobe for retailers and brands which would track a shoppers' body in real-time (capturing 22 joints) and then allow them to physically try on digital clothing that was projected onto them on the screen.

The Mall X

Developed a custom eCommerce solution for Xbox One using the Kinect camera to allow users to 'dress' themselves on-screen using augmented reality and live motion capture. Launched to hundreds of thousands of homes in the US.

Worked closely with Microsoft Ventures to bring our Von Bismark Wardrobe technology to the Xbox One, where gamers could try on and buy clothing straight from their Xbox One in the home. Delivered to hundreds of thousands of homes after a global PR launch and signed thousands of brands to the platform. It remains the only other store ever to have been launched on Xbox One outside Microsoft's official store.
