	User interface, interaction, 
product, brand identity





	Over the last decade, I have designed user interfaces for building custom image recognition models; helped envision the future of an infamous file sharing platform and music streaming pioneer; created products for discovering new music from people you trust; helped publications make the transition from the printed page to mobile devices; and designed collections of furniture for Martha Stewart.


I’m not looking for new opportunities at the moment, but always excited to talk through and collaborate on design challenges that [1] make complex concepts or opaque processes simple and accessible for all; [2] transform everyday tasks into useful, usable, and delightful experiences; [3] make a positive impact in people’s lives; and [4] contribute to a healthy, ethical, and equitable environment.

	Explorer UII was the lead designer on a first-of-its-kind web application that enabled users to visualize their image sets, create training data, train machine learning models, evaluate model performance, and perform visual searches. Similar web applications have since been adopted by Microsoft Custom Vision and Google AutoML.

I collaborated and cocreated with product managers, data strategists, and engineers to define new features. Maintained constant communication with internal stakeholders, ran remote usability tests, and provided a full gamut of UX design artifacts — from whiteboards to wireframes to high-fidelity UI specs.&#38;nbsp;

With Napster’s infamy as a pioneer in peer-to-peer sharing of music, and our domain knowledge in helping people discover new music through trusted friends and tastemaskers, Rhapsody wanted to leverage the spirit of both platforms and bring that to their music streaming service.︎


	

	Freemium User Experience&#38;nbsp;


We explored ways to create a rich experience for free users — giving them options beyond the monthly fee.

Challenges including compliance to DMCA regulation, which included such limitations as the number times of a user can skip songs over a period of time, the minimum number of songs in a playlist, playing songs on-demand, and making music available offline.
Solutions explored were people-powered radio stations, microtransactions, day-passes, and rewards.
