Currently building Zesty, an AI-native restaurant discovery app. Zesty helps people discover food the way they actually think about it: through taste, mood, and context, not just filters and ratings.

I joined the project in its earliest phase and helped shape the product from idea to public launch. My work sits at the intersection of design, AI interaction, and front-end prototyping.

Key contributions:

The project has been a playground for exploring how designers collaborate with LLMs to build products faster and push beyond traditional UX patterns.

Served as one of the core designers behind the new DoorDash Dasher App Homescreen, a large-scale redesign launched in 2025 to enhance clarity, control, and confidence for millions of delivery partners. Collaborated cross-functionally to reimagine the homescreen experience—introducing real-time earnings visibility, simplified entry points to “Dash Now” and “Schedule a Dash,” and clearer access to “Earn by Time” and “Earn by Offer” modes.

This launch marked one of DoorDash’s most significant Dasher-facing updates in recent years, improving usability, transparency, and overall engagement across the platform.
