Hand—crafted digital experiences.

First American

2018 — 2023

During a span of five years, I effectively managed and expanded several extensive enterprise programs for First American. I assembled and managed a team of fourteen designers across four programs and twelve tracks to design an enterprise software platform. The platform manages sensitive documents and processes billions of dollars in transactions. We have successfully created over 60 iterative feature releases to date. Automating deal flows, reducing manual data input, and securely managing user access rights — consolidating five disparate systems into one scalable platform that improved employee training times, customer retention, and order volume.


Case study available upon request.

Officehours

2022

Officehours helps busy people to connect with their audiences efficiently. Collaborating with a small team but highly skilled team, I was responsible for leading the design of the asynchronous video messaging platform.

Kilter

2021

In less than eight weeks, we took Kilter from an initial concept to a successfully-launched in-market MVP. Optimized for in-depth, custom searches by car enthusiasts who know what they want, Kilter delivers an unparalleled search experience. 

AT&T

2015 — 2018

I spearheaded the creation of AT&T's new line of business within a 12-month timeframe. I lead the design of the AT&T IoT Marketplace, allowing customers to self-service purchase and manage IoT Data Plans, SIMs, and compatible third-party partner IoT devices and Services.

Tulip

2013 — 2016

Starting with the name "Tulip," I led the design from discovery to production for Tulip's #1 worldwide clienteling solution over a span of three years. Enhance store associates capabilities with seamless and harmonious omnichannel experiences.

Hey, are you a designer? If yes, then join me for a therapeutic session.

Inspired by Nicolas Solerieu, I've decided to open an hour a week for these. Let's connect and share career stories, rant, vent, or chat about anything that's on our minds. If this sounds interesting to you, then please say hello.
