Bubble Native Mobile Apps Editor

Mobile App

Drove the direction, led the design, and executed on the details for the launch of Bubble Native Mobile Apps—the largest product expansion in Bubble’s history.

I designed the core concepts for how to design, build, and publish native mobile apps for iOS and Android in a new no-code editor: views, native components, navigation, interactions, gestures, hardware integrations, and all of the other mobile-specific capabilities.

The.com Page Generation

Design Tool
Dev Tool
Web

Led product, design, and design systems for The.com’s no-code sheet-based website builder and CMS tool. I helped them learn from early customers through generative and evaluative research, iterated and improved on their core product, and designed a new product surface area called Page Generation.

Page Generation enabled customers to create page templates, use a split-screen view to link sheet columns to any CSS property or piece of content, and automatically generate sheet rows with AI. Every row creates a new page based on the template.

InVision Inspect Motion

Dev Tool

Desktop

Led the design of a new developer tool call Inspect Motion—a first of its kind collaboration product that pioneered better designer and developer collaboration for UI motion design.

Inspect Motion gave developers a tool to find every attribute—design properties, start and end values, duration, delay, and easing curves—for any animating property on any element from a designer’s prototype. This enabled developers to precisely match the designer’s intent and craft of of fine-tuned motion details.

OpenTable Automated Guest Tags

Product Design
Workflow Tool
Web
Tablet

I worked with OpenTable to design a new tool for restaurant owners and operators that allows them to create and manage automated guest tags.

These tags can be configured by any business rules and criteria that are then automatically added to a restaurant guest’s profile once the criteria are met by that guest. These tags are then surfaced in guest’s profiles for the front-of-house staff.
