Senior Product Designer at Instagram crafting new experiences for sharing and friend connection across core product surfaces like Stories. I enjoy 0-to-1 bets, prototyping, storytelling, complex challenges, and interaction and motion design.
Co-founded and bootstrapped an online-to-offline startup supporting NYC fitness communities. Completed programs from Dorm Room Fund, First Round Capital, and Columbia's Accelerator (Almaworks), and placed 3rd place in Columbia's Venture Competition and won a $10,000 grant.
Unfortunately, throughout the COVID pandemic, communities weren't meeting in person, and we ran out of capital without having pivoted successfully.
