Reimagining how the world experiences news at
The
Washington Post
At The Washington Post, I design personalized storytelling experiences that reimagine how readers engage with news. Partnering with journalists, product managers, and engineers, I’ve led initiatives like Storylines and Topic Page 2.0 — systems that help readers follow evolving stories with clarity and depth. My work focuses on bridging editorial vision with product innovation, shaping the future of digital journalism through thoughtful, human-centered design.
Evolving an iconic brand for the digital era
Paramount+
At Paramount+, I evolved the brand’s digital experience across platforms, designing intuitive, engaging interfaces that brought the world of entertainment to life. Partnering closely with product and content teams, I helped shape new viewing experiences, refine visual systems, and ensure a cohesive design language across web, mobile, and TV — all while balancing storytelling, accessibility, and scalability for millions of users.
Designing playful learning for curious minds at
Noggin
At Noggin, Nickelodeon’s preschool learning app, I led the global redesign transforming it from a traditional SVOD platform into an interactive, play-based learning experience. Working end-to-end — from research and concepting to design and launch — I created a system that empowers kids to learn through exploration while helping parents track progress, bridging entertainment and education through thoughtful design.
Quick facts
In addition to leading the global product redesign at Noggin, I played a key role in optimizing our subscription funnel. By launching numerous A/B tests across web, mobile, and CTV platforms, we achieved a 25% increase in conversion rates and a 36% boost in free trial starts.
I redesigned the onboarding experience to allow parents to set tailored learning preferences, while streamlining the mobile interface for better usability and progress tracking.
…Then we used the learning preference data to develop a Parent Dashboard, enhancing communication with parents and delivering personalized insights into each child’s learning progress, which led to a 35% increase in parent engagement.
More recently, I worked as a Senior Product Designer at Paramount+, a subscription video-on-demand service. I was brought on to reimagine the kids and family experience. During my 7 months I supported the creation an AI-driven carousel which created custom collections of content designed for each child's unique interests.
I designed the games feature for Paramount+, enhancing user engagement through deeper character interaction and broadening the platform’s content offerings.
Also, I explored ways to enhance the kids' experience while prioritizing their safety. This included designing a 'nudge' to encourage a kid profile setup, which led to a 79% increase in profile creation.
