Projects

2021
Annotating, comparing and summarizing screenplays at Netflix

I worked on the studio-side of the business, building products that help the studio produce their global slate of content.

One of these products is Script Breakdown, a 0-to-1 tool for reading, annotating, comparing and summarizing movie scripts for Netflix global teams. I was the lead designer on this new initiative.

Simplifying AR content creation at Camera IQ

First designer of a pre-early stage startup, building a no-code design platform for brands to design and launch AR experiences across social cameras (Snapchat, Facebook).

2018
NYT For You at The New York Times

I was part of the Reader Experience team, interdisciplinary team focused on identifying and building new products & services to our readers.

I worked on re-architecting the flagship NYT News app to make it more personal. The project involved rethinking how readers navigate across the app, how they can follow stories, and ultimately how they discover the wide breadth of NYT content - all in an effort to make it easy for readers to find stories that matter to them.

Produced and presented concepts and ideas to stakeholders and managers, eventually guiding the team to a direction that changed the primary navigation of the app to not only support this new personalized space (called For You) but improved how readers use the app overall.

The new navigation, including the new For You space, was launched in June 2019.
