Designed and launched GSSI Labs, a mobile app for the Gatorade Sports Science Institute that leverages wearables connectivity to collect and verify sports science data from non-professional athletes—enabling rigorous, large-scale research beyond the lab. I led design and product development from concept to pilot rollout, collaborating with engineers, product managers, and business leads to shape both the user experience and the team’s product development process.

I drove rapid prototyping, concept evaluation, and usability testing, ensuring the app met both scientific standards and user needs. The pilot launched to 500 users, with a full rollout planned later this year. I’m especially proud of building a design and development workflow for a newly formed R&D team, helping them deliver a technically robust product in a new space.
