What i built

A cross-platform Phygital infrastructure securing $50M+ in digital assets, powering authentication and VIP fan experiences for global partners - delivered via Top Tier Authentics.

This project evolved from a simple verification tool into a multi-vertical platform.

Authentication was just the entry point.

The real value was experience, ownership, and scale.

Authentication was just the entry point.

The real value was experience, ownership, and scale.

Why it mattered

The real problem wasn’t counterfeits. It was fragmentation.

Brands relied on disconnected tools - creating broken experiences for users and operational complexity for enterprises.

What worked for users didn’t work for brands. And what worked for brands didn’t work at scale.

THE GOAL

Design a system as intuitive as a social story - but backed by blockchain-grade trust.

The system

I designed a single core interaction (Scan → Claim → Own) that powers the entire ecosystem

Product Authentication

VIP access & benefits

Event experiences

Loyalty & Digital Collectibles

To scale without UX chaos, I introduced 3D Islands - a modular UI system separating business verticals (Auth, Events, Ticketing, Loyalty, IP) while preserving a single brand DNA.

Platform & Design Ops
Platform &
Design Ops

Built a Living Design System
Reduced design-to-development handoff by 40%

Designed a Super Admin platform managing 1M+ digital assets with real-time analytics

IMPACT

< 3 seconds from physical tap to verified digital twin

99.9% fraud prevention for high-value memorabilia

1 niche product → 5 global business directions

Tier-1 partners onto a single infrastructure

This case captures only a fraction of the work behind the platform.
Much of the complexity, iteration, and decision-making remains behind the scenes.

Designing a system operating at this scale - across brands, products, and experiences - was a rare and deeply rewarding challenge.

Thanks for reading!

Glad we could cross paths.

I hope it left you with a bit of curiosity and inspiration.
