Big events are hard to navigate — for fans and hosts.
World-cup-scale events sprawl across a city for a few weeks and then vanish. The experience around them is stitched together from tools that were never meant to work together.

prototype & learning outcomes
A multi-screen iOS prototype, built around real people in a real crowd.
FanID+ started from usability and real-world needs, then applied user flow, visual hierarchy, and navigation principles to a setting most apps never test: tens of thousands of people, many languages, one afternoon. I'm continuing to refine the UX and its real-world feasibility.
Event OS
One event becomes a whole content engine.
Signals
A small phone app for noticing how you actually feel.
Stamped
A passport app — collecting places, stamp by stamp.
