Product, UX, UI
2017
Plaid loves developers. I love developers. We insist that they have a world class experience from start to finish. In support of said insistence, we ran a ‘GV-style’ sprint on our onboarding flow - brainstorming internally and then testing externally with users... Eventually launching and iterating on our Developer Experience. Here’s an overview of what we shipped first.

A real time data visualization and soundscape of Plaid's API. Represented here is an attempt to create an emotional connection to data through music.

Built during hack week with a group of very talented Engineers and Designers at Plaid.

I was lucky to be part of a team of 3 that conceptualized, prototyped, and championed the ‘dots’... what would eventually become known as Google Assistant. It was a unique opportunity to re-imagine the future of Google... as a digital homonculus that dovetailed with ‘Quantum Paper’ and acted as omniscient and benevolent guide regardless of your digital touchpoint, problem, platform, or journey.

We partnered with Google’s Disaster Relief Team to explore how ‘Quantum Paper’ (aka Material) could potentially help save the lives of its users. We explored a variety of solutions, eventually leveraging the Google+ network to focus on 2 disaster types - public and personal.
