Product and interaction designer. Sometimes I vibe code.
Five years at Microsoft designing Outlook features making email feel juuust a little more delightful. I've worked on the full spectrum of the product impacting 700+ million people, from shipping end to end experiences in the reading pane, to marrying search and chat, to architecting contextual chat in product. I find my superpower in high-fidelity prototyping and using it to bring clarity to the messy space between vision and shipped product.
Showcase*
*A handpicked few that I think represent me well and the type of work I genuinely get giddy about from 2024-2026 (now). Everything from work that shipped, systems and design processes I’ve helped stand up, decisions I’m proud of, and other stuff I find fun.
Shipping Copilot Chat in Outlook
Highlights: Helped drive growth from 170,000 WAU (2021) → 14.2 million WAU (2026), bringing Outlook to the current driver of BizChat users across all Microsoft apps. Select work include collaboration across M365 partners to spearhead chat & canvas interplay scenarios, evangelize user-centric product principles, experiment with rich UX in responses, and envisioning north star explores.
Driving AI Assistance in the Reading Pane
Highlights: Crafted Copilot experiences across the wide range of email reading user jobs, like Summarize, text-selection explanations, and agentic UX. Scaled a cross-platform card framework for first-turn Copilot interactions on canvas.
Transforming our roles into AI-first designers
Highlights: Spearheaded documentation on how to hook up vibe-coded prototypes (we use Claude Code) to personal work data and LLM calls. Co-led ‘output bashes’ and leaned into evals with research to help familiarize others and emphasize the importance that output quality is just as much a priority as UX.
design
It's hard to imagine a time when I wasn't designing, but believe it or not, there was a time when I was dead set on becoming a concert pianist (haha yes you heard that right). It was all I knew growing up, I went to UCLA to pursue my degree in Piano Performance, but it didn't work out.
It was initially difficult for me to reconcile how drastic the career transition seemed, but I've actually come to find more similarities in the two than differences. I've always been an expressive person, which is why I chose piano, and that hasn't changed. Design, to me, shows up in many different ways. On the surface, it's pushing pixels in Figma.
But beyond the cliche fluff we often hear, design is the ability to convey an idea visually (which I think is the coolest superpower). Being intentional about the craft I put out into the world. Caring about and catering to a group of people. Making good choices. Holding strong opinions but loosely at the same time.
Come to think of it, I very rarely come across designers who have always known this was their life track. I think that's what makes this so special. Guess it was a blessing in disguise piano didn't work out 😉
