Coral: Q&A (Ask) Experience
Designed a reader-to-expert Q&A platform adopted by The State, The Verge, and The Strategist to connect directly with their audience.
Designing digital safe spaces for connection and growth
I craft community-oriented products grounded in trust, safety, and collaboration with engineering teams to build meaningful, human-centered experiences.
My Expertise
I led design for The Coral Project through acquisition by Vox Media, bridging design, trust & safety, AI, and policy to build digital spaces where communities thrive.
Community Product Design
Platforms that foster connection and participation where trust, inclusion, and creativity grow.
Trust and Safety Systems
Research-driven frameworks for healthy interaction that support safety, fairness, and transparency.
AI and Human Moderation
AI-assisted tools that help moderators make consistent decisions at scale.
Legal and Compliance Insight
Bridging regulation and product experience through design that respects users and the law.
Accessibility and Inclusion
Inclusive products built with accessibility integrated from the start, not added later.
Internationalization
Systems that adapt across languages, regions, and cultures while staying cohesive.
How I Build
People First
Every product begins with people—their needs, their stories, their communities. I design with intention to create spaces that foster connection, belonging, and trust.
Collaborative by Design
I work side by side with engineers and stakeholders to translate ideas into scalable, safe, and human-centered products. My process is hands-on, iterative, and grounded in shared learning.
Built on Empathy
Design, to me, is a conversation—between technology and people, between teams and communities. I aim to build products that don’t just function well but help communities thrive.
