My role as a Design Producer combined project management, designing, and hands-on production to bring brand experiences and in-app features to life.

I contributed to three main projects: designing a large-scale experiential marketing event, producing a new in-app animation, and helping launch a new feature with supporting ads and UX updates.

Project 1: Experiential Event & Branding

Designed and produced Duolingo’s experiential marketing space for a flagship event with 8,000+ attendees.

Collaborated with engineers, designers, and producers to shape the brand environment, create merch, and oversee setup.

Partnered with a SWE to code the Streak Board, a prominent interactive feature that drove attendee engagement.

Aided in the production of DUOCON!

Project 3: Animation Production

Project managed a 10-week cross-functional animation initiative, aligning designers, illustrators, and engineers.
