Design Entrepreneur

Currently I'm based in San Francisco, exploring new ventures as an entrepreneur and designer. Feel free to reach out with business inquiries or potential ways to collaborate.

Previously at Lyft, I was a staff designer and founding member of the Bikes & Scooters team and Self-Driving platform. During my tenure, I received over 15 design patents - the most patents awarded within the company.

Prior to Lyft, I was a co-founder of Camoji, a simple GIF camera. We were featured by Apple, downloaded over 1MM times, and ranked 4th in the Photo & Video category of the App Store. Camoji was acquired by Lyft in June 2015.

I grew up in Skokie, a suburb north of Chicago. I studied engineering , economics and design at Northwestern University. On most days, you can find me riding my bike.

Bikes & Scooters

Staff Designer

Apr 2018 - Feb 2020

I’m a big believer in the humble bicycle - bikes have the potential to transform our cities. I was a founding member of the Bikes & Scooters team and led the design effort to develop a new line of business at Lyft. I designed our product experience and scaled our business from zero rides to millions, eventually growing our team to over 500 employees during the past 2 years. Our mobility fleet has since become a major part of Lyft’s overall business.

Self-Driving Platform

Design Lead

Apr 2016 - Mar 2018

Lyft develops self-driving technology through its internal team, Level 5, as well as by partnering with industry leaders through its Self-Driving Platform. I was a founding member and design lead of the Self-Driving Platform team. I led the design team working on our rider app and in-car console for our partnerships with GM, Cruise, NuTonomy, Waymo and Level 5.

Passenger App

Design Lead

Jun 2015 - Apr 2016

I was a key contributor on numerous Lyft app redesigns. I also led design for the Lyft Apple Watch app, Lyft.com, carpool, airport pickups, and scheduled rides. Over the course of my tenure at Lyft, I received over 15 patents, the most awarded at the company.

Camoji

Cofounder

Jun 2014 - Jun 2015

Camoji is a simple GIF camera that I cofounded and designed in 2014. We were featured as best new apps in the App Store and were ranked #4 photo and video app alongside Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat. Camoji was downloaded over 1MM times and was acquired by Lyft in June 2015.
