For four years at Uber I was the lead designer for product inclusion: experiences for seniors, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ people, women and people of color, across the rider, driver and courier apps in 80+ markets. I worked alongside a dedicated accessibility specialist, and I was the team’s only product designer from 2024 to 2026.

My best work happens where a product meets a rule, or a person, it was not built for. I led the design of Senior Accounts for seniors and their families, of Service Animals in eight countries with one version per market, and of self-identification for riders and drivers with disabilities, reviewed for privacy under GDPR.

I build as well as design. I prototype in code with Cursor and Claude, and at least five other teams adopted that way of presenting work. An AI agent I built in React and TypeScript won the process innovation category of an internal Uber hackathon among 73 teams; another, which turns a Figma design into screen reader specs, became a pilot with company-wide visibility.

Before Uber I led a team of six designers at NTT DATA for Unilever, and designed for insurance at Porto Seguro and for banking at Sicredi.
