Currently, I'm building a two-sided marketplace for residential real estate at Opendoor. Before that, I spent two years at a seed start-up building a video-powered e-commerce tool and four years at Dropbox building consumer and business products.

Marketplace for homes
Marketplace for homes
Founding Designer on Marketplace, a 0 to 1 product where buyers and sellers can directly transact on homes without the hassle of the traditional real estate model.
I reported directly to the co-founder Eric Wu at the team's inception and led design for both sides of the marketplace. I helped navigate the team to PMF as a fully fledged product line that's now owning the entire buyer experience, refined a clear POV on buyer/seller product strategy, and instilled a strong iterative culture amongst EPD.
Now, we're a tight-knit team of four designers, where I'm helping scale and prove our playbook to different markets.

Smart Workspace for teams
Product Designer at Dropbox, where I was the primacy IC responsible for designing and launching a new standalone, foreground desktop app. The app saw 2M+ daily active users and 100M total users at its peak.
After launch, I continued to iterate and helped bring a new product called Dropbox Spaces to market. The team eventually grew 4x and became the cornerstone of the "next big act" for Dropbox.
