Senior product designer designing at the intersection of AI, AR, and human joy.

For the past 8 years, I've shipped AR experiences, generative AI tools, interfaces across mobile, web, and desktop with tech companies, digital agencies, scale-ups and non-profit organisations.

Unpacking complexity to bring ASL learning to 850M+ users

How do you teach a visual language through a camera to people who've never encountered ASL? I partnered with the Deaf community to design an AI-powered ASL learning experience on Snapchat — owning the roadmap, running 10+ user interviews, and leading 3 MVP tests to ship a product where accessibility wasn't an afterthought but the starting point.

Turning 240M+ impressions into revenue through partner alignment

When a high-profile partner's AR experience didn't meet platform standards, I self-initiated a UX audit framework that became the blueprint for evaluating all partner AR content, aligning brand goals with user experience and driving measurable engagement for NYX Beauty.

Driving a 169% engagement surge through data-led iterations

Dive into how I shaped the production strategy and led UX design to boost playtime and user-generated posts. By standardizing quiz templates and building scalable tools, I enabled sustainable growth across Snapchat’s creator ecosystem.

3 more problems I’m proud to have solved

1. An ML pipeline too complex for creators to use

Generating 3D characters from images and text prompts was technically possible, but the workflow was built for ML engineers, not creators. I redesigned a fragmented, expert-only ML pipeline into an intuitive 0→1 experience. By mapping creator journeys and shaping clear, trustworthy interactions with ML engineers, I cut creation time from ✨days to hours✨ and gave creators the confidence to experiment with advanced technology.

2. Limited resources to coordinate volunteers

Coordinating thousands of volunteers across countries with a tight budget and no margin for delay. I led 2 XFN teams through design sprints, unified UI guidelines across platforms to reduce engineering overhead, and shipped a React Native app that was proof-of-concept strong enough to secure investment in native platforms down the line.

Subscription Experience

3. Unclear value of premium content and features for global users

Snapchat's premium AR content had a conversion problem — users hesitated because the value wasn't visible before purchase. I designed content preview features grounded in behavioural insights, validated through 6 A/B tests, and boosted subscription conversion.
