Side Projects

Ongoing
Jot

Jot is a passion project of mine that started in 2012. I just needed a simple notepad to jot down random thoughts and get back to my day. Nothing existed so I built it.

Circuit is a simple, beautiful way to run your interval workout timers.

Ando was a delivery-first restaurant created by David Chang in partnership with Expa and the Momofuku restaurant group. I led the design efforts across both marketing and product design. For diners, we focused on creating new ways of ordering and interacting with a ghost kitchen. For chefs, we built menu management systems, real-time inventory tracking, and integrated kitchen displays to help them run a smoother service. Ando was acquired by Uber in 2017.

2012 — 2016
San Francisco

Sidecar was the first ridesharing service founded in 2011. I joined shortly after the company's inception as the first full-time designer. In my years there I worked on everything from ground-up redesigns of our Driver and Rider apps to marketing and out-of-home advertising campaigns. Sidecar was eventually acquired by General Motors in 2016.
