I have taken many concepts from ideation to release including new mechanics, events, and sales.

I created and balanced Halloween Monster Hunt. This is the first new event created after a hiatus of new content. It achieved and surpassed it's participation expectations, and it's still used today as a regular event.

I created and balanced Doorbuster Deals a sale concept for black Friday still used today. The sale generated more than double its expected revenue.

Conceptualized and balanced Sticker Album Re-work. This was a re-creation of the old sticker album system found in the game for more than 15 years. It received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the player base.

I was involved in Gameplay and sale Rebalance of various other existing events and features.
