Date: 2017 Young Inventors Challenge
At the 2017 Young Inventor Challenge, I invented the game Draw into Crime, an original board game that combines drawing and deduction. I built a playable prototype and pitched the concept to toy and game industry professionals at the Chicago Toy & Game Fair, gaining feedback and recognition for my design.
I won and got the experience of a lifetime to create my own board game in collaboration with the company PlayMonster. They showed me the design process, and I helped in the development and birth of "Draw-into-crime", building connections with countless industry professionals I speak with to this day.
