GeekStravaganza 2025 is a virtual convention platform for fans of film, gaming, and pop culture. Users can explore schedules, join live streams, and engage across multiple digital stages. This was a 9-week team project where I served as Digital Director and UX/UI Designer. I was responsible for the About page, footer system, and the Day 1–3 schedule experience, including three virtual streams.
View PrototypeUsers struggle to navigate dense schedules and multiple streams in virtual events, making it hard to quickly find and join sessions they care about.
Designed a color-coded Day 1–3 schedule with interactive event cards. Users can save events and access dedicated live stream pages, making it easy to navigate schedules and join sessions in one click.
I analyzed virtual event and streaming platforms including Twitch and Comic-Con to understand how they handle scheduling, stream navigation, and user engagement.
Fans attending a virtual convention — primarily ages 16–35 — looking to browse multi-day schedules, join live streams, and interact with guests and other attendees in real time.
Reviewed virtual event platforms to identify gaps in schedule clarity, multi-stream navigation, and membership gating.
Key Finding: Most virtual event platforms make it hard to browse across multiple days and tracks simultaneously. Users frequently miss sessions because the schedule UI lacks clear hierarchy and quick-join actions.
I explored dark tech and bold comic-inspired visual directions to balance energy with clarity. The team selected the Tanker typeface from this exploration as the foundation for the brand identity.
I created multiple logo concepts exploring gaming and pop culture themes — referencing comic panels, pixel art, and neon arcade aesthetics. While the final logo was decided collectively, this exploration directly shaped the color palette and type direction the team adopted.
As Digital Director and UX/UI Designer I owned the About page, footer system, and the full Day 1–3 schedule experience including three dedicated virtual live stream pages.
Users can't quickly scan what's happening across multiple days and tracks
No clear way to save or bookmark sessions to revisit later
Live stream pages feel disconnected from the main schedule experience
I mapped out the user flows for the schedule and live stream experience, focusing on how attendees would move from browsing the schedule to joining a session with minimal friction.
