An AI product designer who drives products forward with technology.

An 8-month CMU MHCI capstone with Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania, whose 32-store softlines business brings in about $23.66M in annual sales. On the team, I led product design and was the tech lead. Starting from user research, we built Goodwill’s first internal AI workflow tool. Processors say a garment’s attributes, and the agent operates the existing POS system for them to print the price tag. In a one-week in-store pilot, a processor went from about 39 to about 83 soft-line items an hour, a 112% increase.

An individual project in CMU’s Advanced Interaction Design course. The brief asked me to raise conversion and engagement on Bumble BFF, a major US app for making friends. I designed a new feature that hosts in-person meetups for six: each participant has dinner or another activity with five strangers, at a venue the system books in advance. The experience covers iOS, Android, Apple Watch and a web entry point.

Independently designed, developed, and launched a subscription-based iOS app, reaching 50,000+ App Store downloads globally, with a 5.0/5 rating in China and 4.3/5 rating in the U.S.

A team project in a CMU interaction design course. We designed the physical controls and digital dashboard of a semi-autonomous three-wheel electric moped for a rider with limited mobility. Based on usability testing with 6 participants, we refined the three interactions that matter most: switching between manual and auto mode, getting help in an emergency, and handing control back to the rider when the vehicle can no longer drive itself safely.

As the lead iOS engineer, I drove the launch of the Clickable Category feature on Instagram creator profiles. In an experiment covering 40M+ users, the feature achieved 8% CTR, and creators saw +9.3% MoM follower growth.
