I lead and support product design for complex, cross-platform systems across Meta Reality Labs, focused on onboarding, NUX, identity, youth experiences, parental controls, trust, safety, and platform-critical setup flows.

My work sits at the intersection of VR, AR, mobile, store, identity, permissions, policy, privacy, legal, and multiple design systems. These are not isolated features, they are platform-level systems where user actions must move clearly and reliably across surfaces, teams, and approval paths.

I’m known for unblocking difficult product work that has previously stalled or been considered too complex to ship. I do this by building strong cross-functional relationships, finding the real decision bottlenecks, and working through one point of friction at a time until teams have a clear path forward.

At Meta Reality Labs, I lead and support foundational Quest and Horizon systems used by millions of people, including account setup, profile setup, onboarding, parental controls, teen supervision, and all first-run experiences. These flows define the first impression for new users and directly impact activation, comprehension, trust, safety, and successful product adoption.

Previously, I led design for multi-user support on Quest and led the design and integrity strategy that unblocked video support for Facebook Marketplace listings, a major capability that required deep partnership across Integrity, Privacy, Policy, Legal, Product, and Engineering.

As a Principal Product Designer at Lonely Planet your responsibilities included entire areas and/or platforms of the product stack at Lonely Planet. In my case, I was in charge of design for lonelyplanet.com. All the time working cross- functionally with PMs,Developers, Marketing Managers, Editorial and other specific stakeholders to execute the high-level strategy of the company. Both rewarding and exhausting work. Love every minute of it.

As co-founder and Head of Product, I was able to bring the Fluencr product from ideation to market in a startup environment. We were funded by Tony Hsieh (Zappos).

FLUENCR

We all have a brand, Represent It. Fluencr measures the social influence you have on a particular brand. It provides opportunities to prove how influential you can be in promoting their image, product, popularity, etc.

*#FLSHTAG (Fluencr pivot)

Users have the ability to join, vote and/or create a photo-based

virtual 'flashmob' created around hash-tagged ideas or initiatives (ex: *#SundayFundaySelfie). Users of the app then vote on images submitted around the *#FLSHTAG initiative to crown an individual "Star" of the TAG for a moment in time.

CSD hired me to help transition their company into a tech company by bringing a new interpreter marketplace product to market. I was the first hire for this new initiative and was an instrumental part of the growth process. Not only was I responsible for early product design and development, I was also hiring and working directly with the CTO on this new initiative.
