Here are some recordings of prototypes of shipped work from the most recent version of the Pager app.
Video 01: The first thing you see when you download the app - made in collaboration with the wonderful folks at Makata.
Video 02: The last thing the user sees in the onboarding flow before they enter the app. It took a moment to process screenshots to turn them into pages, and we didn't want the user's first experience to be an empty feed. So we added a brief animation for the first several screenshots to solve for this.
Video 03: A short click-thru around the app showcasing a mini-sprint focused on screen transitions.
Video 04: Another short click-thru of the Lists feature.
Here are some recordings of prototypes of conceptual work at Pager that never saw the light of day.
Video 01: A fun animation for favoriting a page.
Video 02: Back when Pager was a tool for creators, this was a concept for followers to have a conversation with a bot version of the creator. The follower could ask the "creator" opinionated questions.
Video 03: This concept was based on the question: "What if your camera roll could be navigated through a command line" (similar to Spotlight). This exact prototype demonstrates a remind function you could take on an image.
Video 04: All of our heavy-screenshotting users had thousands of pages spanning many years. This concept made it a little easier to super-scroll back in time and see hints of content types as you scrolled.
Here are just a few of the things I worked on at Saturn. All of these features were shipped at some point, and some of them are still live in the app.
My involvement in all of these projects included: Product Design, Prototyping, Copywriting, Marketing Design, User Research, Product Management, Product Strategy, Data Analysis, QA
Work Experience
Pager is an AI-powered app that turns your screenshots into bookmarks so you can save, organize, and find everything you love across the entire internet. It helps you rediscover your fave spots, products, media, and more — all in one app. All from your screenshots.
I joined as a founding team member and was the only designer during my time at the company. We worked on a variety of projects as we were testing our hypothesis that people wanted to make their screenshots more useful.
Our latest iteration was our most technically impressive yet. You could screenshot a restaurant recommendation on TikTok, and the app would produce a card (aka. page) for that restaurant that provided all the information or actions you might need: one-tap call, photos, reviews, mapping, link to yelp, link to instagram, link to menu, etc. You could then create Lists of pages to share over text or social media. We supported a number of platforms and content types that catered towards a variety of interests.

Saturn helps you manage your time so you can spend it doing things you love with the people who matter most. See what friends are doing in real-time, chat with them, organize events, and share schedules all in one place.
I joined as a founding team member when DAU was well under 10k users, and by the time I left, we crossed 300k (and it's quite a bit more than that now!). I worked directly with the founders on a number of projects: Calendar, Events, Sports, Profile, Friends, Realtime Status, Chat, Tasks, Bulletin, Calendar Compare, Share & Invite Flows, Onboarding Flow, Add Class Flow, Schedule Change Flow, Saturn for Web, Saturn for Android, & more.
All of these features shipped to hundreds of thousands of users across the US, and I was fortunate enough to have had the chance to iterate on each of these features multiple times. As a solo designer, I led the design for all the early versions of these projects, and collaborated directly with engineers, ops, and other functions of the org. Eventually, a few incredibly talented designers joined the team, and we all collaborated on the later versions. The product has grown and matured so much since I started there in 2019, and I'm so happy to see that most of my foundational work is still in place and that my old co-workers have taken the product to an even higher level :)
Side Projects
Pocket Paint is a social genAI art app. You can create your own art using DALLE, browse other people’s art, remix their work, and share your creations with friends.
We turned the Apple Music Year in Review app into an app that shows your live-updating music listening stats without having to wait till December. It showed your top artists, albums, and songs at any time interval (week, month, year), and auto-generated playlists based on your listening habits.
