When Las Vegas re-opened in July 2020 they needed a solution for guests preferring a physical room key during the contactless era of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I worked closely with an engineer to quickly design an iPad app, test it with the first several guests, iterate and launch it in less than 3 months.


I brought illustrations (created by the MGM design team) to life in Rive. (You’ll have to use your imagination.)

The best part of this project was having my engineer take our first version to Las Vegas and test it with real guests. We learned a lot together, made some quick changes and turned around a success for MGM Resorts.
