From 2021-23 I was a design leader at Gusto, a startup with over $500 million in annual recurring revenue. I led a team that redesigned Gusto Payroll, Gusto's core product and one of the world’s most used and loved payroll services. Along the way we built a new foundation for Gusto’s growth.

From 2017-2021 I was the Director of Design at Casetext. I helped Casetext grow from a tiny legal research startup to powerhouse by helping to create the industry’s first truly revolutionary A.I. product. In 2023 Casetext was purchased for $650,000,000. Six hundred and fifty million dollars! As the Director of Design, I built the incredible design team that shipped many innovative products that drove the business.
