Gameboard

In 2021 I was hired by Last Gameboard to help them prepare their hardware and software for the initial release of their physical product.

During this time I worked closely with Jennifer, the Head of Design, as well as the CEOs, hardware engineers and manufacturing contacts at the factory in China. Initially I was hired to help with the UI design of their Android based touch app which runs various single and multiplayer board games. The CEOs soon realized that I had a lot of experience with designing products for manufacturing and I ended up helping to redesign their physical chassis, since the prototype was CNC aluminum and the final product would be injection molded plastic. This required extensive modification of the chassis to account for mold flow, mounting of hardware and cooling fans.

I was also able to leverage my packaging design skills at Gameboard when Jennifer and I designed what we called the Crunch-Wrap Supreme packaging for the Gameboard. Inside the outer box was a play-mat that folded around the Gameboard hardware, creating an unforgettable unboxing experience, as well as providing a beautiful play-mat to place the Gameboard on while playing games with friends.
