DRAFTCARD
A social product that let student athletes assemble a shareable trading card with statistics, highlights, and video connected to recruiting workflows.
The role statement defines my contribution boundary for this record. Client leaders, product partners, designers, artists, quality specialists, operators, and other engineers retain credit for their respective work; a project is described as independently built only when the supplied operating record supports that claim.
What The System Had To Solve
- Unify identity, statistics, highlights, and video into a credible athlete profile.
- Make sharing simple while respecting the needs of student athletes and recruiting workflows.
- Connect a consumer-facing social experience with a broader collegiate recruiting network.
How I Approached It
- Organized varied athlete data around one legible, shareable card.
- Treated media, profile completeness, and connection pathways as parts of the same product journey.
- Designed across mobile and web contexts so athletes could build and distribute their story where it mattered.
Stats, highlights, and video become a shareable record that helps a student athlete communicate verified ability.
What Changed
- Student athletes could create and share a digital trading card tied to their statistics, highlights, and video.
- The virtual locker connected athlete media with the NCSA recruiting network described in the product record.
- The project demonstrated SaaS, social, media, and multi-surface product experience.
Outcome language is drawn from my project record. Where a number is not independently published, the wording identifies it as a portfolio-reported result.
What The Project Taught Me
Make the card a useful interface into deeper evidence, not a decorative endpoint.
A profile product earns trust when presentation and provenance reinforce each other.
Useful for SaaS, marketplaces, professional identity, recruiting, media products, and multi-sided platforms.
