Work

y30

Co-founder & product design engineer. Voice AI for older adults. A warmer voice from a rewrite, not a model swap, and confirmed failures turned into tests.

GoodRx (Iodine)IPO 2020

First full-time designer (design + some code). Coupon conversion 2% to 5%, a Webby-winning product, and data-viz cited in the NYT.

Clover HealthPublic 2021

Second designer. Designed and shipped the nurse home-visit app: nurses reported 1-2 hours of chart prep gone each day, time for more visits.

PlaySesh

Co-founder & CEO (design + code). Collaborative game-dev tooling in Discord; 1,035 peak monthly active users, still live.

Pathstream

First design hire (design + some code). Redesigned the core lesson experience on a live platform; zero forced migration.
