Onboarding

I was the senior designer for an external interactive onboarding tool to help increase the retention and ease of use for the game engine GameMaker. This was a completely new product that was created out of technical limitations in the main tool. It has only just been released but results are showing positively in new downloads.

Strategy

After a company rebrand I created a strategy that would take the GameMaker website from an outdated website to a fitting exciting platform that not only incorporated the new brand, but targeted a new audience - education. This was a phased strategy that used minimal resources and worked on top of what we had to ensure its release.
