Rainmaker is a B2C mobile app catering to both native and non-native crypto users. It empowers users to seamlessly manage their crypto portfolios and execute one-tap deposits. Entrusted with the responsibility of user activation post-account creation, I collaborated closely with the founder. Together, we introduced a redeemable points system to incentivize user engagement. Complementing this, I integrated UI call-to-actions on the homepage, tailored to users' specific onboarding stages.

This B2C data platform took shape during the Covid-19 pandemic when there was a dire need for reliable data sources. As the lead product designer, I worked hand-in-hand with Biobot's founders, engineers, and data experts.

A platform that has millions of users, earned recognition for its design, and significantly contributed to revenue growth, resonating with both government and enterprise customers of Biobot.

LinkNYC is a new age Wi-Fi kiosk with millions of daily views and thousands of tablet users. In this project, we leveraged data driven design to propose a revamped the social services page to cater to the most common searches. Striking a balance between attracting high-value brands and addressing users' essential needs, we discovered user interactions closely mirrored Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. By curating resources around housing, food, money, work, and education, we enhanced the user experience and strengthened connections between people and vital services, all while maintaining LinkNYC's luxury appeal.
