I was an early hire at the commercial real estate marketing platform LoopNet, where I started as the lone product designer and front-end developer. We grew massively over the next couple years, leading to a successful IPO in 2006. Our CEO rang the opening bell for NASDAQ!
Post-IPO, we continued to innovate and expand our user base, building a sales comps product that led to being acquired by rival CoStar in 2012. I stayed on with CoStar, hiring and managing designers in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, DC while also continuing to lead strategic projects as a principal designer. We made our mark across the company's verticals, delivering on key initiatives for CoStar, LoopNet, CityFeet, BizBuySell, and Land & Farm. In 2014 CoStar acquired Apartments.com, and my team and I were a key part of it's rapid integration into CoStar's ecosystem.
After a long run in commercial real estate tech, I went back to the world of startups. I joined Surefront as Director of UI/UX in 2020, a platform empowering retailers and suppliers to work together more effectively through cross-organizational collaboration. A few years later I landed at Archipelago as Head of Design, a data network connecting brokers, owners, insurers and service providers around more accurate property information.
After over a decade in roles leading teams, I made the jump back to an IC role. I'm currently a Principal Designer at SageSure, an insurance platform that specializes in solving the complex needs of homeowners and small businesses in challenged markets.
