Co-founded an innovative platform that is transforming the future of user-generated content (UGC) video creation. Keyla is on a mission to completely replace manual UGC production by 2026, empowering marketers and content creators to effortlessly scale authentic, high-quality content.

Until Sep 2022, I led the design vision and strategy at the Design Manager project, which was sold for $14.8 million and recorded a net gain on sale of $9.7 million for the company.Later, I switched my gears back towards 1stDibs and led the design system project while being the advocate of UX in the world's leading luxury marketplace, both B2C (supply) and B2B (demand) experience.

Launched & led the initial design vision of a new interior design business platform at Design Manager, which 1stDibs acquired in 2019.
