Citizencon: 2019
Citizencon 2949 was my first industry keynote demo that I was able to work on, it was a fantastic experience and allowed me co-ordinate with members of teams I hadn't previously to help implement their work into design and flow of the keynote demo. With me only having been in my junior design role for 3 months this required me to learn some new aspects of our development process within a very tight deadline, but I was able to adapt to the task at hand and get the work done.
​
This work brought about a lot of comradery between all those involved, we were in the trenches together to get the job done, but seeing all the fans reactions both live at the show and online in the stream chats made all the hard work and late nights worth it.
