Destiny: Rise of iron

The final DLC expansion for the first-person shooter game Destiny

Released: September 20, 2016

Role: User Researcher

Where: Bungie

When: 2016

Contributions: Playtesting and usability testing

I took over leading research on Rise of Iron when another researcher unexpectedly went on medical leave for a few months. The game was at a critical stage of development where there were only a few weeks left for research to have impactful changes, so I temporarily halted my work on Destiny 2 (still early in development) to squeeze in some important playtesting for the campaign and strikes, some usabilility testing on UI/menu changes, and an internal study to fine-tune the raid.
