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

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. The real gap is context. In a sea of content, hyper-relevance is no longer optional; it’s vital for one of YouTube’s largest audiences: learners. This vision project explores how the platform could evolve by making content more contextual, relevant, and discoverable, helping learners learn with focus than noise.

Google — Evolving a design system for Fitbit's millions of loyal users 

The future of health is intelligent, proactive, and personalized. 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

People have no shortage of information at their fingertips. What they lack is an experience that feels alive—contextual, anticipatory, and personal. In close collaboration with Microsoft, we brought a 0-to-1 vision to life that uses AI to translate intent into an adaptive interface, subtly revealing richer answers and actions right within the flow. The result is an interface that feels like a friend who knows you.

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 to 1 experience to life: turning ambiguity into interfaces, and early feedback into momentum, all in a loop of design, ship, learn, repeat.

We had emerging tech, a vision for the future, and a launch date looming on the horizon. At Media.Monks, I worked at the intersection of brand, product, and interaction, leading design on an augmented reality concept that placed small businesses inside a three dimensional world, reimagining how they could connect and stand out, no headset required.

Flow OS — Building a focused oasis amidst the noise of the internet

What if your browser didn’t distract you, but guided how you think? Flow is a passion project: a speculative OS browser that combines spatial design with an integrated LLM to reimagine how we navigate the web. The outcome is a more personal internet, tailored to how you think, learn, and explore.
