The story

A shared virtual bedroom where friends listen to music together, with surface detection, tappable objects, a mood and scene system, and a placement model for artists and labels.

I owned the scope, the delivery plan and the success metrics the concept was judged against. When time got tight I cut scope twice and documented what was dropped and why, so it could be built later rather than lost.

I learned Blender from scratch to make the 4 in-lens 3D assets the team had no time to source, and gave the closing pitch to 50+ people across Snap product and engineering. The lens reached 8,000+ users in its first 4 days.
