Info
I started my career at Spatial, where I worked with engineers and product managers (ex-Google, Uber, Twitter) to define and build a metaverse platform across three product pivots. I touched everything - experience, marketing, strategy - and worked in 2D/3D across web, mobile, and VR.
Results
When I left, we reached product market fit and grew our monthly active users by 100x (I joined early). Spatial pivoted twice, from VR meetings into an NFT gallery making web tool, then again and at last, into a platform for user generated Unity experiences. We also made Animal Company, a monkey/primate horror game which bloomed into the #1 selling VR game in all of human history.
