Technology is magic, studying computer science showed me that. I make this magic come to life for humans through product design.

UX Design and Research · Growth - shipped June 2026

Designs I worked on are live on the fiber.google.com home page. I led the plan card redesigns for Core, Home and Edge, adding a Check availability button that drops you straight into the buyflow. A/B testing showed a real lift in installs.

UX Design and Research · Agentic buyflow

As a contract UX designer on Google Fiber, I designed the 0 to 1 agentic purchase experience: a shopping agent people would actually let near their cart. I scoped how much control the agent should have, designed the Ask AI panel and its conversation starters, and landed on a propose, don’t book pattern: the agent lines up the plan and the install date, and you stay the one who commits.

Bijoux

iOS app · a charm bracelet for your phone

Bijoux is a charm bracelet for your phone. Friends draw each other little charms, you wear three at a time on a gold thread across your Dynamic Island, and pass them on when it's time. I invented the gesture, so nobody knew how to use it — the real design work was teaching it without ever explaining it. Launched on TestFlight and beta tested in production with 10 users.

Block Party

Design Intern · Shipped 2024

Block Party is a browser extension that deep-cleans your social media. It was desktop-only, so people who found it through mobile ads could read about it but never try it, and the funnel leaked right between interest and install. I designed a mobile demo that lets you feel the product before installing anything, built on one insight: people don’t trust what they can’t try. It shipped across their LinkedIn and X funnels and is still in use.
