My Contributions
My time at Mattel was jointly spent remastering the production team’s project management workflow and working on licensed games with our Dolls IPs (Barbie, Polly Pocket, Monster High, American Girl). My day-to-day responsibilities included:
Championing high-priority communications between Mattel and external developers, prioritizing timeliness and clarity, to enable blocker resolution and satisfactory iteration on licensed work
Evaluating records of and feedback on existing cross-functional approval processes, for use in informing a comprehensive redesign of that workflow
Ideating and programming a custom Google Sheets dashboard to visualize and act on Asana data, with a focus on addressing pain points communicated by team members to guide efficient, remedial tool creation
Analyzing timelines and asset deliveries to help monitor project progress across departments and contributing studios
Playtesting incoming builds of in-progress titles to screen for brand consistency and milestone accuracy
