Role Summary & Accomplishments

I directed the product and design strategy for a rapidly scaling talent marketplace serving over 100,000 users. My work focused on simplifying and modernizing the marketplace—cleaning up core workflows, reducing friction, and elevating usability. I also redesigned the company website to strengthen positioning and conversion. Most notably, I led the end-to-end product spin-out of Pikl from Vangst, defining the vision, architecture, and execution needed to establish it as a fully independent business. I managed a five-person engineering team throughout, keeping the roadmap tightly aligned with business outcomes.
