Experience

Product Designer to Staff Product Designer

2016 – 2025

Led design for Grubhub+, the company’s loyalty and subscription program. Driving our customer base from sub-million to 12 million. Redesigned the core ordering experience from menu to checkout, faster paths, fewer clicks, cleaner flow. Led the design effort for the menu and homepage experiences, the core path where most customers decide what’s next. Supported the development of Grubhub’s early design library, which defined the product’s visual appearance, user experience, and communication style.

Editorial Intern

2010

I helped the X-Men editorial team manage their monthly production schedules. I discovered how important rhythm is in storytelling and design, and how to get several books out the door when the clock is ticking. Plus, I got a sneak peek at how even the smallest creative choices can create worlds that stick with readers.
