Shop Everything
Building product discovery into the moment of inspiration
I lead product design for Instagram Shopping as a hands-on IC, setting direction across discovery, creator and seller tools, Visual Search, and AI.
- Role
- Head product design
- Context
- Discovery, commerce, and AI
Add product snippets to Reels. Product snippets let creators add shoppable product context directly to Reels.
Open a shop with a catalog. Sellers could set up a shop from Instagram, Commerce Manager, or the commerce platform they already used.
Search from a moment of interest. A Reel could lead directly into a visual product search.
Give businesses a storefront. Shops gave people a native storefront for discovering and comparing products on Instagram.
Pin products during live video. Live creators could pin the products they were demonstrating.
Bring business help into chat. 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.

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
Make autonomous startup legible. A patented remote-startup system helped operators see what an autonomous vehicle needed to complete before it was ready to start.
Coordinate a day of testing. A shared schedule coordinated vehicles, routes, software, and the people needed to run a test.
Make autonomous delivery understandable. The consumer experience paired grocery selection with a clear view of where an autonomous delivery was.
Learn from the vehicle in context. 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
Guide the active shop. The shopper app guided each order from aisle-by-aisle picking through replacement decisions.
Keep customers in the replacement loop. Customers could review out-of-stock replacements and choose another option while shopping continued.
Carry decisions through delivery. Review and bag-location steps carried the shared order state through handoff and delivery.
