ResortPass

Jan 2023 — Current

As ResortPass' first in-house designer, I built the design organization from the ground up, supporting the marketplace, B2B, internal tools, marketing, and brand teams. In my first year, I led our brand’s visual evolution, established our first design system, and am currently overseeing a product reskin. Alongside my IC work, I have hired and managed a team of art directors and product designers and developed the company's UXR program.

 

Imperfect Foods

May 2022 — Dec 2022

As Product Design Manager, I lead design across web, iOS, and Android apps, focusing on strategy and vision, people management, project management, user research, as well as visual design. This player-coach combination of responsibilities has allowed me to orchestrate better processes and systems, which have improved team effectiveness and customer-first thinking. Through innovative UX, accessible UI, and impactful storytelling, I help drive Imperfect’s mission, which is to empower—and celebrate—customers who save food from waste.

 

Tinybeans

Jul 2020 — May 2022

As Director of Brand and UX, I oversaw all aspects of product design, communications design, marketing design, and art direction. Establishing this combination of functions created a unified end-to-end experience for customers. Having design influence at every touchpoint in the customer journey helps to reinforce the mission, connect with customers, and celebrate collective impact. Within this org, I specifically drove subscription growth, engagement, and ad revenue by managing the collective creative and product design team.

 

LOLA

Mar 2019 — July 2020

As Senior UX/UI Design Manager, I advocated for the user while planning, researching, and designing projects on the product roadmap. Most projects related to subscription growth; however, content and storytelling played major roles within the brand experience.

 

Greatist Inc.

Greatist.com & More App

As the company’s first Design Director, I was tasked with owning the brand’s evolution across web, app, email, and marketing. I built out a team of in-house designers and contractors, and together we collaborated with content and engineering to help users achieve a personalized, healthy-ish lifestyle.

 

Time Inc.
