Clever

Product Designer
March 2018 – January 2021

I was fortunate enough to serve as the lead designer on a newly founded and talented Discovery team, who’s initiatives spanned three user types, found initial revenue, and soon became a top-level company priority.

• Led end-to-end design from inception to execution for products that shipped across multiple user types.

• Overhauled our School Admin experience to double our feature offering and provide value, leading to 60% increase in monthly active users (22K to 35K)

• Designed the Clever Library from scratch, revolutionizing the way teachers find and adopt edtech - used by over 10% of US teachers with 3.5x YOY growth

• Drove growth of lead generation in our App Store through rapid cycles of experimentation and design (0.3% to 2.4%)

• Matured the design org by crafting design principles, developing user personas, and expanding our design system

I proudly contributed to the vibrant and inclusive company culture by revamping the internal recognition program, planning team and org-wide activities, and evolving to support a
distributed team.
