Zocdoc
Product Design Manager, 2017 - present
Product design manager for the patient experience. I have a player/coach role where I help shape our design team, define product strategy and do individual design work.
My current role at Zocdoc
Work with PM and engineering leaders to provide creative and strategic product direction across patient teams.
Lead development and maintenance of the patient design system, including migrating over to Figma.
Recruit, hire, manage and organize team events. Establish processes to foster healthy and effective collaboration.
Produce data-driven designs that meet both patient and business goals, from small core funnel optimizations to big new features.
The tricky part about working hard during the day and attempting to become a semi-decent cook at night is that you never find the time to update your portfolio. Contact me if you want to see more work.
