About me


I’m a Staff Product Designer with extensive experience leading large-scale projects that balance user needs with business objectives. My approach integrates workshop facilitation, storytelling, and prototyping to drive impactful solutions.

Some career highlights:
  • Gusto: Designed unique hiring product experiences for small businesses, focusing on attracting and onboarding talent, as well as keeping business compliant with HR laws and requirements.
  • LinkedIn: Led the design of the Pages growth strategy, resulting in a 6% increase in Page followers within 6 months.
  • PayPal: Led the information architecture redesign and feature expansion of PayPal's checkout experience, achieving an 80% purchase rate. Additionally, designed the PayPal Business App platform, resulting in a 150% increase in the user base.
  • MoneyLion: As a founding designer I established the design function, redesigned the lending experience, and launched a suite of personal finance tools.

What type of role I'm looking for

I’m seeking Staff or Principal Product Designer roles to solve complex problems, shape a design strategy working across teams, and mentor designers. With experience in consumer and SaaS products, I’m open to remote U.S. work or hybrid roles in the SF South Bay Area (excluding San Francisco and East Bay).

Team contributions

Feedback and mentoring

I 've helped design teams establish feedback best practices and ran design critiques.

Workshopping

I use design thinking workshops to help stakeholders align on goals and solutions.

Process and documentation

I teach designers how to use design documentation to communicate progress.

How I work

I combine vision with progress

I bridge the gap between the ideal future and the present by prioritizing and exploring. Using design sprints, I create visionary targets with low-fidelity designs and implement lean UX to steadily achieve the blue-sky vision.

My design is practical and adaptable

The double diamond framework is an excellent process ideal.
But all projects come with nuances that require adaptation. It's up to the designer to use the process to simplify the problem, not to complicate it.

My ideas are fueled by collaboration

User empathy and insights from the people I work with are the fuel of my ideas.
I thrive in creative spaces where ideas and feedback are inquisitive rather than prescriptive.
