Centurion New York

I returned to American Express in 2022 to lead the design and development of new digital solutions for American Express' first non-airport lounge and restaurant, Centurion New York. I led a team of Product Managers, Product Designers, Engineers, and Data Analysts to create and ship the Centurion New York App for both iOS and Android.

Lead Generation

I joined the Small Business Team at Instagram in 2021 to design and build new products for small businesses. I was responsible for leading the design and product direction for new lead generation tools to help connect businesses and consumers through their organic and paid experiences. In my first six months, I designed the Lead Gen product from concept through launch. We ultimately shipped on multiple surfaces within Instagram App — including Profile Action Buttons, Story Stickers, Pro Dash, Forms & Ad Units — resulting in $155MM MRR post launch on Android alone.

Digital Lounge Experiences

American Express acquired LoungeBuddy in 2019. Since then I was responsible for growing the team and shipping updates and new experiences across all eight B2B and B2C products for travelers and lounges around the world. I led a team of Designers, Product Managers, Localization Project Managers, and Data Analysts with the collective goal of connecting travelers to the right experience at the airport, and supporting the operations of those experiences when they got there.

LoungeBuddy

LoungeBuddy enabled travelers to discover and access the different airport experiences (lounges, hotels, restaurants, etc) available to them though their Airline Status, Lounge Memberships, Credit Cards, and more. I joined LoungeBuddy as their first designer in 2015, where I was responsible for everything under the “design umbrella.” Eventually I was asked to lead both the Product Management and Design functions, where my team and I were responsible for shipping updates for our B2B & B2C products — growing revenue ~20% MoM from 2015 - 2019.

Side Projects

In my spare time I like to give myself small projects and design challenges to flex my creative muscles. In the process I created 1RM, a simple weightlifting calculator for iPhone that I built to teach myself iOS development. I'm also reasonably obsessed with productivity apps, and have recently been toying around with some new concepts for another ToDo App, affectionately dubbed "Todoji."
