Your First Game

Poker Power · Senior Product Manager · Apr 2024 — Jul 2025

Product

A guided, hands-on first game that bridges the gap between lessons and real play — for a mobile app teaching women decision-making under pressure through poker.

  • Led development end-to-end: problem framing, user research on first-session drop-off, spec, design partnership, QA and rollout.
  • Players who completed Your First Game were 40% more likely to return within 7 days — a step change in early retention.
  • Built the analytics to prove it: 60+ Amplitude dashboards tracking activation, funnel and D1/D7 cohorts, which reshaped roadmap prioritization and lifted returning users 40%.
