Overview
While at CBS Interactive, I had the pleasure of working on several projects for GameSpot.com.
One of the many areas that I focused on related to component & pattern creation & contribution within the general Games Group framework. The Games Group consisted of GameSpot, GiantBomb, MetaCritic, GameFAQs, and ComicVine. Typically, when a component or pattern was created for one site, it was reflected in a similar fashion on all other Games Group sites to maintain consistency.
I was able to create & contribute several design updates for UX improvements throughout GameSpot’s long-form review page structure, and ‘recommended for you’ algorithm.
Most of my time working on GameSpot.com was focused on the website mobile experience, including user retention, persona creation, research, and much more. We were able to ship several UX improvements & explore several other potential strategy changes for UX flows to maintain user engagement when entering the site from a search engine result. The resulting improvements led to an increase in user retention and engagement on the site overall.
