I helped young companies find their footing by building out their teams and design cultures while helping them to scale their businesses.

Kitchensurfing

I partnered with our C-Level executives to stand up a unique food delivery service that brought real chefs on-demand into private homes, leaning in on family home-cooked meals as a differentiator over take out in a box. As head of design, I hired and led a team that built out consumer apps, operations and logistics software, service design for scalable meals that could meet budget, be prepared quickly and impress. I also had full responsibility of the branding and identity. You really do it all at startups.

Glamquad

I led both product management and design for an “Uber for Beauty” service that built a strong following among working professionals (founded by GILT Groupe co-founder), and need to scale both its business (by offering unique services and connecting with new customers) and scale its operations (by creating a proprietary booking platform for on-demand beauty). Personally interviewed beauty professionals to surface pinpoints to our board to pitch new product priorities.

Liquor Cabinet

I launched a mixology app with Instagram personality A Guy Named Partrick and the head mixologist of one of Brooklyn’s most respected cocktail establishments, managing design and engineering. I’m also an aspiring mixologist myself.
