PRODUCT DESIGN, GEN Z SOCIAL Shut down

Project Z

A next-generation social platform designed for Gen Z creators and communities — reimagining social networking around self-expression, fandom culture, and gamified interaction.

Customer Problem

Project Z is a next-generation social platform designed for Gen Z creators and communities. It reimagines social networking around self-expression, fandom culture, and gamified interaction.

The app quickly gained traction across Latin America and global markets, becoming a vibrant hub for creative youth culture.

What I Did

As Co-founder and Head of Product, Growth & User Operations, I led the overall product vision, experience design, and go-to-market strategy.

I worked cross-functionally with engineering, data, and marketing to align product innovation with community growth and user operations.

  • Defined overall product strategy and user experience — covering 1-on-1 matching, multi-user interaction, AI integrations, and NFT-enabled communities.
  • Built and managed multilingual operations teams (Spanish, Portuguese, English) across LATAM and global regions.
  • Scaled the platform from 0 to 800K MAU and 180K DAU within 2 years, maintaining 50%+ day-2 retention.

Business Value

As my first 0-to-1 product, Project Z was a journey of building from scratch — from product design and user growth to leading an international team.

Along the way, I met many loyal users who became genuine friends and supporters of the community.

Although the project has paused due to team restructuring, it remains one of my favorite creations — a meaningful chapter that shaped both my craft and perspective.
