I’ve been operating as an independent consultant since leaving Uber in 2017, with a brief full-time stint at Google before returning to client work. I work with early-stage startups and product teams at scale to design and ship products across AI, mobile, and B2B SaaS. With startups, I help take products from 0→1 by clarifying the idea, shaping the first version, and aligning the team around what they’re actually building. With teams at scale, I focus on improving product quality and how teams ship — design systems, motion, and the foundational structure that keeps large surfaces consistent and helps teams execute with a higher level of craft.

I work with early-stage startups as a design advisor, bringing senior design leadership to teams that don't yet need a full-time Head of Design. The work is high-leverage: shaping product vision and roadmaps, stress-testing ideas, untangling complex UX problems, keeping teams focused on what matters, and raising the quality bar across the product.

I joined Google in Sydney as a Staff UX Designer for Google Maps right at the start of COVID, working on public transit and multimodal features. The focus was on shipping time-sensitive updates that riders and transit agencies needed during the pandemic. I also contributed new components and design guidelines to the Maps design system to support multimodal navigation.

I joined Uber in San Francisco as Staff Product Designer to lead design for the Developer Platform, shaping how external developers built with Uber's API. The work included designing reusable components, SDKs, design guidelines, quickstarts, and examples that made integrations faster and more predictable. I partnered directly with Spotify, Foursquare, and LinkedIn to guide their integrations and ensure cohesive in-app experiences. After the first major redesign of the Rider app launched, I shifted to the Rider side, focusing on the core platform and design system.

I joined Adobe in San Francisco as Staff Experience Designer on the Marketing Cloud Core Platform, working on cross-product features like notifications and collaboration, as well as directly on the Dynamic Tag Manager product. I also helped co-found Spectrum, Adobe’s design system, and contributed to it through its initial release, focusing on motion and interaction design for the core components and writing production CSS for the front-end framework and documentation site.
