As the first designer on a six-person team, I shaped an early networking concept into a product direction built for live events. I mapped the journey, organized the app, and prototyped how attendees could choose sessions, manage their day, and find relevant people at the right time.
Live events move fast. People bounce between schedules, messages, and profiles while the sessions and connections worth their time slip by.
The opportunity was there. The structure to act on it wasn’t.
I designed Linkberry around one connected plan. Events fill the calendar, sessions can be added quickly, and recommendations surface relevant people and events as the day unfolds.
Instead of adding another feed to check, the product turns discovery into the next useful action.
I designed Linkberry around the decisions attendees make under time pressure: what to attend, who to meet, and what to do next. One plan kept those decisions connected.
People miss the sessions they wanted, struggle to find others in their field, and leave without making the connections they came for.
Linkberry uses each person’s profile to recommend people and events, keeps the event schedule and personal plan together, and makes starting the right conversation easier.
Six focused tools helped people plan the day, find the right rooms, and make introductions before the moment passed.
A fully developed, live app combining event discovery, personal scheduling, session adds, recommendations, notes, and lightweight networking.
When I stepped away after eight months, the team was seeking further funding for what came next.
