Work Experience
Product Designer

Rule1 Ventures — Atlanta, GA

March 2023 – Currently

At Rule1, a venture capital firm backing early-stage B2B SaaS startups, I lead UX/UI design, product research, and product analytics across 4–6 portfolio companies at a time. Beyond design, I take on product ownership responsibilities, partnering directly with founders, product managers, and engineers to define roadmaps, prioritize features, and ensure delivery. I write clear requirements and tickets, collaborate with agile dev teams in sprint planning, and validate that shipped solutions align with business goals and user needs.

Key Contributions

  • Roadmapping & Prioritization: Defined product roadmaps and feature priorities across industries (cybersecurity, fintech, underwriting, logistics), balancing user research insights with technical feasibility.

  • Agile Collaboration: Worked daily with developers in agile sprints, writing user stories, confirming requirements, and ensuring alignment between UX/UI and development.

  • Analytics & Feedback Loops: Leveraged product analytics (Pendo, Hotjar, PostHog, Looker Studio) and user interviews to inform prioritization and define feature success metrics.

  • Owned end-to-end product design: Managing the in-house design system, Figma workflows, AI-assisted wireframing, and user testing. Delivered desktop and mobile-adapted high-fidelity designs aligned with business goals, dev requirements, and accessibility standards.

Selected Projects

Roxwrite – Underwriting: Used Product analytics recordings to track time to action and identify pain points that resulted in a data-driven UI revamp increasing product efficiency by 60%.

Red Sentry – Cybersecurity: End to end designed and scaled a Pentest-as-a-Service platform used by hundreds of companies to scope, manage, and pay for penetration tests—streamlining intake, communication, and delivery across all client engagements. Enabled both internal and client-facing teams to manage pentest lifecycles, creating a major industry differentiator and driving adoption across all deals.

Bank Shot – Payments: Designed and launched a web receivables platform delivering a seamless, mobile-first experience for hundreds of home buyers each day, supporting diverse payment types and simplifying real estate transactions.
