In some ways I feel like I’m living the dream. I told myself recently for the first time in my life, “I am who I always wanted to be”. At the same time, I know that this is only the beginning. Let's dive in!
Angl: On the Cusp of a Dream
I'm thrilled to announce that Angl is at a monumental point. After months of hard work, I've lined up a Chinese manufacturer for the product, and I'm now working on the logistics of fulfillment and crafting a launch strategy. The plan is to have multiple iterative micro-launches, leveraging viral marketing to build momentum leading into this holiday season.
Trass Games: Over the Finish Line and Into the Race
I recently started my role at Trass Games as Plush Product Manager, and it's been an absolute blast! For those who don't know, Trass Games is the company behind the wildly successful social free-to-play game, Yeeps – basically the Minecraft of VR. They released a plush toy last year that exceeded all expectations, selling 10,000 units in just 5 minutes.
I met Jayshay—who led the plush product efforts—while hosting a booth at Maker Faire for Angl. It was one of those moments of perfect alignment: they needed someone to build on this unexpected success, and I was indie hacking in the consumer space, looking to upskill by working with a team and reaching a larger audience. They brought me on board as the Plush PM, and it's been completely heavenly. Thank you, Jayshay and all my new team members at Trass!
Being part of the Trass Games team is incredible, and I'm grateful to be immersed in the community of driven and talented people at Founder's Inc. It's a dream come true to be surrounded by individuals who share my passion and drive.
