Patreon, Reimagined
To celebrate Patreon’s 10yr anniversary, we relaunched Patreon's mobile app and website, in compliance with its new brand and identity.
Messaging in Blue
I led an app-wide strategy to connect Facebook users through in-app notifications, app switches, or, in some cases, in-app Messenger chats.

Cultural Moments
I pitched a fun and beloved program that celebrates important cultural moments (e.g. Pride, International Women’s Day), leveraging the Facebook brand and wordmark.

I design 0-to-1 business-critical and emotionally resonant products.
I thrive within a startup environment, excelling most when the entire team engages in collective brainstorming, ideation, and product development. My primary focus lies in delivering the end product, prioritizing it over fine-tuning pixels in Figma. I firmly believe that we achieve success together.
