At Nearmap (formerly Betterview), I conceived and built the core interaction model for a property-intelligence workflow, helping underwriters understand machine-generated findings and decide what needed action. I designed AI-supported geospatial and insurance products, carrying the work from problem framing through implementation.

At Nearmap / Betterview, I joined as the sole in-house designer and owned core areas of an AI-powered insurance platform, including underwriting and risk-assessment workflows. I worked with Product, Engineering, and insurance experts to turn fragmented processes into clearer paths from property data to decisions.

I joined Credit Karma as its only designer and designed the original iOS and Android apps, remaining hands-on across product, brand, and marketing as the company grew. I also led its 2016 rebrand with Siegel+Gale and built and mentored the design team while continuing to contribute directly to product work.
