As Product Design lead for Horizon, I led on cross-platform consistency, defining success, lobbying leadership, designing processes and mentoring our Senior & Staff Designers. My research showed that Horizon saved ~70% of a designer’s time, most using the library daily. /twitter-horizon/ Sat, 22 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /twitter-horizon/ The existing drafting system within Twitter needed to be fixed, as it was undiscoverable and didn’t sync between devices. I led a redesign and research across multiple engineering teams, running multiple designs that explored ~20 designs. I conducted numerous usability studies with users to determine the best approach to launching our proposed vision on our platforms. /twitter-horizon/ Fri, 21 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /twitter-horizon/ Twitter’s navigational system was inflexible, and if we were to launch, all of our proposed features would have reduced the space for actual content. As Design Lead, I was responsible for launching a new scalable navigational system, the Dash Menu, across all our platforms that enabled feature experimentation without disrupting the existing menu or content. /chrome-PWA/ Thu, 22 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /chrome-PWA/ Progressive Web Apps are super-powered websites that users can install on a phone or computer. I led an initiative with the Chrome engineering team to improve discoverability, education and usage. My work led to a greater than 100% increase in PWA installation and engagement.

Millions of users sign in with their phones as an authentication method every day; sadly, many logins fail. I was the UX lead on our Web Platform, and my team redesigned several sign-in flows and increased successful logins by a third. /google-dev/ Mon, 19 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /google-dev/ As UX lead Google Developers documentation sites, my team aimed to redesign learning for our developer audience. Google.dev launched at Google I/O 2019 to an audience of ~7,000 attendees. It achieved over 3,000 active users by the end of our first week with 48k pageviews. /squoosh/ Mon, 19 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /squoosh/ A new web tool, Squoosh, downsizes, compresses, and reformats images. I was the UX lead and designed the app’s user journey, flow and visuals. Launched at Chrome Dev Summit 2018, the app received over ~400k visitors, which resulted in over ~230k compressed images in its first week.

As UX lead, I designed the core experience, visual and motion design. Due to its success, the app was featured in the A Book Apart ‘Progressive Web Apps’ book as a great example of how to design notifications and network states. See app here. /chrome-tabs/ Sat, 17 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /chrome-tabs/ Native Android apps use Chrome Custom Tabs to link to web content. Usually, this means opening a webpage in a ‘Chromeless’ tab. However, when users clicked on a file, a blank page appeared. I led a redesign of the download flow, working with our illustrators & animators to create a delightful experience for Android users.
