Consulting on Gen AI policy and Product Design

Led a key redesign initiative, bringing the power of LLMs and GenAI to the Samsung ecosystem.

Bringing next-generation language technology to virtual and augmented reality.In 2022, I led the design of the Voice SDK, a partnership between the Assistant and Oculus teams within Meta Reality Labs. I managed our partnerships with more than 20 3P studios, driving experience design within voice-forward and MR-tech enabled use cases. During this time, I managed contracts with external design firms to create video prototypes, vertical slice experiences, and demo videos, and worked to set our overall product direction for a team of engineers. I led a team of 6 designers and acted as a PM for most of this year while we didn't have one. In 2021, I was the Art Director and Manager for our Assistant Experience Incubator, leading a cross-functional team and supporting a team of designers and prototypers creating experiences for the Assistant. A true 0-1 space, it was some of the most fulfilling work I've done in my career, threading the needle between creative vision, user needs, and product market fit, aligning the work to org-level goals.

I led efforts to identify, iterate, and ship experiences that brought the power of our Family of Apps (Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp) to all Meta 1P surfaces.
