I led Design and managed creatives across all consumer pillars including Growth, Engagement, Trust & Safety. We strategized and shipped better experiences that included Feed, Profile, Notifications, Content Creation, Maps, and Login/Registration. This resulted in a lift in growth and engagement metrics and led to a measurably more delightful user experience.
