Leading product design for Glance TV — an AI-powered shopping platform live on millions of TVs across the US and India. The product runs across three distinct surfaces, each surface serves a different user intent on the same underlying system.
Recognized for Product Innovation at InMobi Oscars 2026 for AI Agentic Shopping on TV.
The core design challenge here isn't a single product — it's a platform with multiple partners (Samsung, Google, DirecTV, etc) each bringing competing requirements. My job has been to define scalable interaction patterns and reusable components that absorb that complexity without requiring custom design per integration.
Embedded continuous UXR with US audiences into the design process — qualitative and quantitative studies driving every major product decision, findings presented to and signed off by OEM partners.
Built a UX competency framework to make growth legible and self-directed across the team.

Led UX for Roposo Live and Shoppertainment from zero — defining the vision, building the team culture, and shipping end to end. Delivered a 2.6× increase in user time spent.
Roposo Live required designing across three distinct surfaces simultaneously: the audience experience, the creator live studio, and an invisible moderator layer with full creator permissions. Each surface served a completely different mental model on the same underlying system.
Led a lockscreen revamp grounded in UXR — research revealed users weren't aware Glance existed on their lockscreen. Partnered on qualitative and quantitative studies; the redesign moved DEU DEU nearly doubled within 2 weeks (stable), across millions of devices. Findings were presented to and signed off by OEM partners.
Built a team culture of full product ownership — designers making their own calls, raising the ceiling on craft, running the same way whether or not I was in the room.
