Buckled up & helping build an amazing EV. It takes a village.

Established and currently scaling Scout's North Star Design System. It facilitates the digital application creation across all facets of the organization. Web, in-vehicle, mobile, and backoffice. Built for consistency and familiarity for anyone interacting with the Scout brand and products. Deeply collaborating with engineering teams on the execution of design components using an atomic methodology.

Lead design efforts for scoutmotors.com, which consisted of multiple teaser websites leading up to a crescendo which included an orchestrated live stream and (somehow) impeccably timed technical switch over to our full-fledged marketing website. The new website would accept vehicle pre-orders and allow the world to explore Scout's newly launched showcars in great detail.

Leading efforts around design and Figma education across the Scout Motors org. This includes 1:1 and group mentorship and community building.

I sweat the details so the users don't have to.

Established and fostered the Enterprise UX Design system (EUX). This is a full-fledged, foundational design system designed and built with purpose from the ground up to accommodate 30+ applications and supporting 50+ designers working on the Enterprise & Fleet team. Worked together with designers from my team to ensure they had all the tools to be productive and consistent.

Worked closely with multiple engineering teams involved in the construction of EUX components down to the nitty gritty detail. In some cases providing technical guidance.

Reduced engineering scope by designing optimized components which saved time to iterate on and build by utilizing to my prior background as a frontend engineer.

Collaborated with Brand and In-Vehicle design teams define a “genetically consistent design language” across the entire company.

Built community by hosting weekly and monthly design discussions around the usage of Figma and and EUX. Became a go-to person across the entire Rivian design org on best practices surrounding Figma. As an aside - I truly love Figma and am working towards creating courses on it.

During my earlier time on the Brand Team, I was integral to designing the Purchase Process application - a complex and multi-step flow used by thousands of customers to purchase their new vehicles. Executed on this by working with numerous cross-functional teams on needs, conducting quantifiable user research, and collaborating with engineering partners. The outcome was a beautiful, easy-to-use, accessible, and informative application. Additionally played a key role in various other public facing areas of rivian.com related to vehicle ownership.
