SELECTED
Tripadvisor
Beyond maps, developed a social graph
I worked with a small team within Tripadvisor that made use of their robust travel data. We evolved the product to become personalized and connected to the travel community creating tools to inspire individuals with relevant advice from experts they know.
Most recently, I was Lead Product Designer at Avenue where I automated day-to-day operations to close the loop faster.

Side Projects
Chess Mafia
Play to earn chess on Solana
Chess is the most popular game in the world with 605MM players. Chess Mafia lets you play chess for sol and buy NFT skins to customize your board and pieces. Over ten days and a small team of 3, we drafted a PRD, full end-to-end product design, roadmap, and an MVP for the Ignition Global Hackathon. We advanced to the final pool of submissions and received an honorable mention from the judges.
Jonah Trades
Social investing uniting retail knowledge
Jonah builds on the crowd-driven momentum of retail investing, uniting and organizing investors on one platform to turn the collective into a community. I worked with the founding team and designed the first version of the iOS app and complete end-to-end experience. Partnering with the team, I created flow charts, wireframes, and final visual designs to bring the vision to market.
Taabs
Search for exactly what you want
While technology was being integrated into seemingly everything around us, the dive bar down the street stayed largely stayed the same. From 2013 to 2015, I co-founded a local search and discovery iOS app with the vision to scale into a mobile payment product. I led the product design, management, and initial angel investment to support a team of 5 employees for 2 years.
Flik
Billiards meets air hockey
In 2017, I had the idea of a simple mobile game that mimicked billiards and air hockey. Together with co-founder Adam Eskreis, we worked on the side project and brought the mobile game to market within a month. I led the Product Design, Creative Direction and Marketing. We have since moved away from maintaining the product. View the now open source project below.
