Set foundational, long-term Design System strategy in parallel with high-impact, near-term component design and development. Moved across and embedded on all product teams, driving large interface redesigns across our ops, provider, and patient-facing experiences. Took Design Systems to a self-sustaining level of operating maturity and moved full-time onto the product team, focusing on transforming the patient experience and launching our enterprise offering.

Helped manage change through several major leadership transitions and re-orgs, most notably stepping in as Interim Head of Design, focused on hiring our new VP of Design.

We design, build, and operate shared homes for people looking for community and a more affordable housing option in expensive cities. As the Design Director, I lead the Brand & Product design team. On the Brand side, we employ a service design mentality to ensure brand excellence across all surfaces of our experience: everything from marketing to customer service to interior spaces to internal team culture. On the Product side, we deliver a mobile app experience that's the companion to the analog experience in our homes — helping members become friends IRL — and an internal web app that makes our staff operationally efficient.

In January 2020 I joined the leadership team, participating in company strategy and bringing a human-centric point of view front and center to the proverbial table.

Took an opportunity to focus on balance for a few years. Partnered with big-hearted folks trying to making positive changes through technology. Owned end-to-end strategy, research, design, and implementation of projects ranging from research initiatives, design systems consulting, new product design, existing product iteration and redesigns, branding refreshes, and marketing sites.

Proud to have: grown a coliving startup's brand and digital products, advocated for the education and distribution of artist-made films, helped folks with diabetes live better through connected technology, shaped a design system for health insurance, and helped nonprofits discover and match with grants.

Joined Uber as the first designer on the web platform team. Led design on both the internal web design system, launching the first and subsequent few iterations of our internal front-end framework, and the rider app design system alongside one of the first largest redesigns since the product's inception. Facilitated cross-team collaboration and processes for evolving design systems at scale.
