Currently a design lead at Huge in Los Angeles.

Domino’s Pizza
Online Ordering Redesign
Project
Redesign the Domino’s Pizza ordering ecosystem from the ground up.
A ground-up redesign of the Domino's ordering ecosystem across iOS, mobile web, and desktop. I joined as a principal designer on the original pitch — one of the agency’s largest account wins to date — and stayed on as creative lead through the complete redesign.

Design Solution
An experience redesigned to make your mouth water.
Where the old UI hid food behind dense lists, the new design puts enticing imagery front and center — visuals are now the primary way users select ingredients.
The broader UX was modernized to match: clearer, faster, and easier to move through.

Apple TV
Press Site Redesign
Project
Create a destination newsroom for Apple’s all-original streaming service.
The official press destination for Apple TV — a hub where entertainment journalists, critics, and industry partners can find news, trailers, key art, and cast information for every show and film on the platform. I led design execution across mobile web and desktop, from research through launch.

Challenge
Design a press site native to Apple, suited to journalists’ daily workflows.
Entertainment journalists live on platforms like IMDb and Deadline — scanning for news, grabbing assets, moving on.
The press site had to fit that rhythm: fast to scan, easy to source from, and consistent with the design and branding language of both Apple TV and Apple Newsroom.
Design Solution
Over 300 shows and films. One scalable system.
A modular show page that serves as the home for everything related to a title — show details, trailers, episodes, cast and crew, news.
The system flexes from a single announcement to multiple seasons of content, and powers every one of the over 300 shows and films on the platform.

Apple Marcom
AI Native Platforms & Tools
AI-powered tools tailor-made for how Apple Marcom works.
An ongoing partnership with Apple's marketing communications team crafting a suite of internal AI native tools, each aimed at helping the high-output creative org move faster and stay organized.

Elephant XD Academy
Agency Design Bootcamp
Project
Introduce a new generation of creatives to the fundamentals of digital product design.
XD Academy is an agency in-house annual design education program: a free, two-week bootcamp introducing BIPOC college students to the craft of digital product design through talks with working professionals. I led the program design, designed the brand and website, and taught the UX and prototyping sessions.

Website
A brand and a site, built to excite and recruit.
A standalone site introducing the program — full session schedule with takeaways, speaker spotlights, FAQs, and the program's running history.
The visual identity was designed to make a free, virtual bootcamp feel fun, unique, and worth showing up to.
Program
7 talks.
12 working experts.
Over 200 students.
A personal tour through the disciplines that make up modern product design — user-centered design, interface design, AI, prototyping, storytelling, and the first steps of a design career.
Sessions were led by working designers from Elephant (Huge), and built to fit student schedules: drop in for the topics that interested you, catch the recordings for the ones you missed.
