Turning a house into a home is one thing. Turning a platform into a global habit? That’s a whole new playbook. In 2025, Airbnb rolled out its biggest expansion yet: Experiences and Services. I worked across product, dev, and creative to shape a design language that translated trust, delight, and Airbnb’s unmistakable charm across markets — no passport needed.

More help. Less hassle. That was the promise behind Airbnb’s cohost network. I helped bring that promise to life for the 2024 Winter Release — crafting a launch experience that made it easy (and exciting) for hosts to get on board.

The internet’s biggest video platform has no shortage of content — but what about clarity?
While YouTube experiments with generative AI across the product, I explored how it could actually help people learn, not just watch.
A personal vision project reframing YouTube as a place to go deeper, not just scroll further.

Google — Evolving a design system for Fitbit's millions of loyal users
The future of health is intelligent, responsive, and wearable. The design needed to be, too. At Hello Monday/DEPT, I partnered with Google to craft a bold new visual language for what comes after steps and stats — one that flexes across mobile, web, and devices that haven’t hit the shelves yet. All without breaking a sweat.

Microsoft — Making it easier to access personalized content at a glance
Bing was evolving fast. The UI had to keep pace — and stay calm. At Hello Monday/DEPT, I collaborated with Microsoft’s product team to refresh the Bing app and prototype how generative AI could show up in the flow — helpful, not overwhelming.

Trust is hard to earn — especially when your MVP is more “M” than “V.” As the third designer at Pivot, I helped bring our 0–1 experience to life: turning ambiguity into interfaces, and early feedback into momentum — all in a loop of design, ship, learn, repeat.

Project highlight:
Increased user adoption in 9 months with 500+ new subscribers monthly and expanded the product to 2 Canadian cities

We had emerging tech, a vision for the future, and a two-month deadline. At Media.Monks, I led design on a mixed reality concept reimagining how small businesses could show up and stand out — no headset required.

Flow OS — Building a focused oasis amidst the noise of the internet
What if your browser didn’t bark commands, but whispered suggestions? Flow is a passion project — a speculative OS that pairs spatial design with a built-in LLM to rethink how we explore online. The result? Less overload. More clarity. A browsing experience that breathes.
