Product Design, Monetization, Nextdoor

Staff-level product designer specializing in ad products and monetization, with a track record of shipping high-impact work at The New York Times and Nextdoor. Most comfortable at the intersection of business impact and user experience, translating complex advertiser workflows, data systems, and ad formats into intuitive, high-performing products that move the needle.
This site was created this site by adapting a Bootstrap template, where I modified the CSS and injected a PHP array to dynamically load the list of projects. To view the array, click here.
