Square, Product Designer | December 2022 - Present
Owned and designed Catalog Management features across seller segments of all sizes which shaped how millions of sellers and their buyers shopped on a daily basis.
Design DRI for Catalog Mobile, where I delivered responsive interfaces that scale to all mobile devices, including Square's new proprietary hardware device, Square Handheld.
Secured a $100M opportunity by delivering a top seller request for enhanced menu customization features, which was featured in the inaugural "Product Releases" event in Spring 2025. I also created and delivered a white-label presentation to prevent a $17M seller from churning while the feature was in development.
Integrated AI tooling into design workflows — rapid prototyping with v0, extracting themes from seller feedback at scale, and querying live seller data through Block's agentic AI to ground design decisions in real usage patterns.
Worked closely with cross-functional partners to shape the annual product roadmaps for Square’s catalog platform, scoped complex multi-team initiatives and prioritized against business objectives.
Partnered with engineering to identify and understand technical architecture constraints and used those to inform design and scope, minimizing cross-team dependencies and speeding up delivery of menu customizations by 6 months.
Curated vision presentations for senior leadership that used storytelling to translate complex platform problems into clear narratives that drove alignment and secured investment in large-scale improvements.
Contributed new filtering patterns to Square’s design system, which were leveraged by key teams including the inventory and reporting teams.
