About

I'm a multidisciplinary designer focused in Product Design with 9 years of experience. I'm personally passionate about SMB's, hospitality, local, and commerce.

After Getting my start at one of the most exciting startups of 2015, Yik Yak. I designed some of our core features including, Sharing on Yik Yak, Identity, + brought on our core design team in ATL.

After a short stint I left to explore an exciting opportunity to work at Pinterest and moved to San Francisco. I joined the Ads + Monetization team, contributing to our Ads Manager and revenue goals. Later in my time at Pinterest I shipped our first initiative under the Creators vertical, Pin Stats.

After 2 years and being a part of my first IPO, I left to take on a role at Messenger and focused on Messenger for Business. I led and pitched an initiative to launch a new Ad format in the Messenger Inbox. One of the first stand alone monetization experiences on Messenger.

In 2019 I joined Mailchimp and led the design direction for the new Email editor. Shortly after, a promising but (uncontrollable) stint at Twitter, I joined Cash App. Where I designed our first Offers experience and worked on initiatives on Cash for Business.
