About

8+ years of digital design experience primarily working on impactful 0→1 projects for companies at all stages.

My product experience spans ideation, research / testing, information architecture, end-to-end flows, prototyping, design systems, design QA, and everything in between. I work across interaction, visual, and motion design for web, desktop, and mobile.

Lately, I've been working beyond the canvas, exploring with real prototypes and shipping front-end code.

All portfolio content was written by me.

Opendoor Exclusives
Opendoor Exclusives was a new kind of real estate marketplace that let users buy a house at the click of a button. I kicked off the concept-to-MVP of the Opendoor Exclusives product as the founding designer, then returned a year later to the buyer-side to productize their marketplace — designing a seamless, context-aware end-to-end discovery → touring → buying experience that crossed between digital and IRL and back at multiple touchpoints.
