I was the first designer at Y Combinator! Focused on building tools for founders and helping them grow their companies in an effort to make the world a better place.

Y Combinator

Head Of Design

Built and scaled our growth design and brand efforts from the ground up. Led a redesign of our customer product and refresh of our brand and marketing design strategy.

Instacart

Growth Product Design and Brand Manager

I was fortunate enough to work with the Founders of Meadow in the early stage working on UI design for Meadow's storefront and delivery product for consumers, along with brand marketing assets like video and photography. They have a SaaS offering now and continue to pioneer the retail cannabis industry through design and tech, transforming how most people shop for cannabis.

Touchpoints: Mobile UI (web, iOS), Brand/Marketing

Meadow

Senior Product Designer

I started at 🥕 Instacart in 2013 as the first product designer. I designed our native iOS and Android apps, our Customer Web app, along with our Shopper app, internal tools and partner apps. 🤓 Most recently led the redesign of Instacart's mobile app in the Summer of 2019 along with a brand refresh launching a Brand Guide and Brand Portal for the company and partners.

I helped build our design team to over 30 designers, both Product Design and Brand/Marketing. I also assisted in building our initial growth team and later began building our first Brand/Marketing design team.

Along this journey I worked on our Brand and Marketing which included designing and deploying effective marketing collateral for thousands of stores across the U.S as well as digital ad campaigns that drove Instacart’s growth for years. I’ve directed and organized our major photoshoots, commercial shoots as well as built an in-house photography studio to power a lot of our brand and marketing efforts.

First Senior Product Designer

I joined Sincerely as the first Product Designer alongside one of the founding developers. I designed a suite of iOS and Android apps that enabled you to send special moments and gifts to family and friends. I worked heavily on growth (acquisition and retention), working on our App funnels, transactional and marketing emails, as well as holistic product experiences. We received numerous App Store features and press as a small team which was really exciting.

I had the opportunity to develop the front end web app of our gifting product, Sesame, as well as our company site and our emails as well. I learned how to track and send our emails via Sendgrid and some other tools during a time where this was somewhat new. My email campaigns received award recognition by CampaignMonitor in 2012.

Sincerely was acquired by Provide Commerce, where Sincerely then began building a series of gifting apps for their offerings (1800 Pro Flowers, Sherries Berries).

Touchpoints: 4 iOS apps, 2 android apps, 2 web apps

Ran professional gamer video syndication for Call of Duty: Black Ops

Video Producer and Pro Gamer

Simraceway is an experience where you can drive simulation cars at the Sonoma Race Track and eventually drive the real exotic cars on a professional track to put your skills to the test.

I had the opportunity to create so many different experiences. I designed our game (game menus, HUD, skins etc), our web-app which would allow you to book a race to compete in online for a chance to win a trip to Sonoma to race the real cars. I designed a Steering Wheel controller that was dockless, along with the packaging and marketing. I also had the opportunity to design the actual building that sits on the first turn of the Sonoma Race track.

This was surely a unique experience of a lifetime.

Ignite Game Technologies.

Product and Game Designer

GotGame was an 'ahead-of-its-time' gaming application that had features more robust than Steam at the time. We had innovative technology that overlayed our application over your game, allowing you to chat with your friends, browse the web, stream and so much more.

This was right before PC gaming was about to have a resurgence with the likes of Starcraft II, League of Legends, Fortnite and many more. It was an awesome experience that I'll never forget and brought my two favorite worlds together as a youngin', design and gaming.
