About Me.
I was an underachieving student at Carnegie Mellon University, where I studied Information Systems, Behavioral Science, and endured several failed attempts to study at the School of Design.
I caught my first break at MAYA Design (A BCG Company), where I learned everything about the Human-centered design process.
I then convinced Duolingo to hire me (thank you, Luis). I joined a very small team and help build a product that hundreds of millions of people would fall in love with. The last thing I built there was Duolingo for Schools, a tool that enabled educators to use Duolingo with their students.
As the self-driving race kicked off, I joined Uber ATG as their first product design hire to design the in-vehicle experiences. Some highlights include conducting usability testing on a closed course, and collaborating with vehicle manufacturers.
Most recently, I moved out to San Francisco to join Forward. With a tiny team of designers, I designed a suite of products that help deliver the best preventative primary care possible.
Currently, I am helping Figma expand it’s collaborative design platform for the worlds largest teams. In 2021, I will help open it’’s New York City hub.
I have filed over 15 patents for my work. I think I still have a few more ideas in the tank.
