Shop Everything
Building product discovery into the moment of inspiration
I head product design for Instagram Shopping as a hands-on IC. I directly own key product work and set direction across discovery, creator and seller tools, Visual Search, and AI, keeping the experience cohesive across teams.
- Role
- Head product design
- Context
- Discovery, commerce, and AI
Product snippets let creators add shoppable product context directly to Reels.
A Reel could lead directly into a visual product search.
Sellers could set up a shop from Instagram, Commerce Manager, or the commerce platform they already used.
Shops gave people a native storefront for discovering and comparing products on Instagram.
Live creators could pin the products they were demonstrating.
I designed Instagram’s first consumer interaction model for Business AI agents, from prompt pills and disclosure to private bottom-sheet messaging.

Pro subscription
Building Instagram’s first subscription for Pros
I was Instagram’s design lead for Meta Verified, its first platform subscription for creators and businesses. I led the core benefits from concept through launch, then took on growth, while guiding product and design across onboarding, account management, and the free-versus-paid model. Meta Verified became a meaningful new business for Meta and helped pave the way for broader investment in subscriptions.
- Role
- Instagram design lead
- Context
- Meta Verified on Instagram
Eligible subscribers could share trusted links in Reels without turning the format into an ad surface.
Creators could organize multiple destinations and make one link more useful from their profile.
Subscribers could request original credit when another Reel reused their work.
Shared access let creator teams manage an account without sharing a password.

Nuro
Designing delivery without a driver
As Nuro’s first product designer, I mapped the decisions a driver normally handled across customer, vehicle, autonomy, and operations systems, and helped launch one connected service.
- Role
- First product designer
- Context
- Autonomous delivery
Operators could see what an autonomous vehicle needed to complete before it was ready to start.
A shared schedule coordinated vehicles, routes, software, and the people needed to run a test.
The consumer experience paired grocery selection with a clear view of where an autonomous delivery was.
Field studies at night informed how the physical vehicle and service experience worked in context.

Instacart
Turning replacements into a shared decision
As Instacart’s second product designer, I turned replacements into a shared fulfillment state for shoppers and customers while the order was underway.
- Role
- Second product designer
- Context
- Fulfillment systems
The shopper app guided each order from aisle-by-aisle picking through replacement decisions.
Customers could review out-of-stock replacements and choose another option while shopping continued.
Review and bag-location steps carried the shared order state through handoff and delivery.
