Christopher Gilland

Building digital products and experiences with the communities that use them.

I combine creator marketing, social content, interactive development, community feedback, analytics, and operational leadership to take ideas from concept through launch and continuous improvement.

Profile

My work spans interactive entertainment, creator partnerships, social content, community development, SaaS, healthcare technology, training, and operations. As a Meta Horizon Creator Program Partner and Meta affiliate, I have designed, launched, promoted, and supported 74 VR and mobile experiences reaching more than 900,000 cumulative players.

I built many of those experiences from original ideas, then refined them through Discord conversations, player comments, collaborator input, and Meta Horizon analytics. That feedback loop shaped onboarding, difficulty, features, cross-platform design, performance, and the direction of future releases. Alongside my creator work, I founded and operate ButtonMakerPro, a subscription software platform and website supporting creative businesses from design through ordering and production.

Behind the creative work is a broader leadership foundation: U.S. Army flight operations, employee training and customer-facing management, and four years supporting clinical applications in a large healthcare environment. I bring the same calm ownership, clear communication, and follow-through to creative launches that I brought to operational and technical teams.

What I Do

Creative work backed by product and operations experience

I work across the full journey, from identifying an opportunity to building, launching, communicating, measuring, and improving it.

Creator & Social

Content that makes products understandable

Concepts, announcements, demonstrations, tutorials, launch posts, short-form video, community updates, and platform-specific messaging for gaming and technology audiences.

Community

Feedback turned into better experiences

Discord discussions, comments, player conversations, structured feedback, and creator collaboration translated into practical product and content decisions.

Product & Live Ops

From concept through iteration

Roadmaps, feature decisions, TypeScript and visual scripting, testing, releases, analytics review, troubleshooting, and post-launch improvements across VR, mobile, web, and SaaS.

Collaboration

Built with creators and platform teams

Collaborated with numerous creators over multiple years and worked directly with Meta teams through testing, launches, creator programs, feedback initiatives, and Meta Connect.

Technical Communication

Complex ideas made useful

Product demonstrations, user guidance, documentation, release communications, stakeholder updates, customer education, and cross-functional coordination.

Leadership

Calm ownership in demanding environments

Experience coordinating military flight operations, training employees, leading customer-facing work, and supporting clinical technology in a regulated healthcare organization.

Featured Work

More than a gallery of finished worlds

Selected examples of how I build products, cultivate communities, collaborate, and carry work beyond launch.

Creator Portfolio

74 interactive launches · 900K+ players

Designed, built, promoted, and supported a broad portfolio of VR and mobile experiences, both independently and alongside talented collaborators. My contributions have included concepts, development, production, launch support, promotion, community engagement, and ongoing updates. Used platform analytics, player behavior, comments, and direct community feedback to improve usability, gameplay, performance, and future releases.

Community-Led Development

Discord became a working feedback loop

The community grew from players of my escape rooms and other Horizon creations. Their questions, suggestions, and play experiences helped identify friction, validate new ideas, and guide updates rather than serving only as a promotional audience.

Platform Contribution

Escape Room Kit · 183 remixes

Created a reusable, fully remixable escape-room system so other creators could build with its items, meshes, and code. The kit expanded my impact from making individual experiences to enabling other creators.
