As the first Product Content Strategist (now Content Designer) hired at Zillow, I've played a dual role, splitting my time between supporting Designers and Product Managers -- creating well-rounded product experiences -- and helping the Design org build a case for scaling a fully realized Content Design team. Since then, the team's grown to 14 people, supporting nearly every area of the product, and will continue to grow. I've maintained an E2E focus, throughout.

Work examples

Behavior-specific App Upsells

My role: Lead Content Designer


The challenge: Initial experimentation with semi-dynamic messaging that is placement- and behavior-specific, for the purpose of defining principles to drive contextually relevant content. Initial data findings were staggeringly positive.

Zillow 3-year Vision
Workshop design & narrative

My role: Core team member and narrative writer


The challenge: Three full-day, sequential workshops designed to facilitate 65 business leaders through a series of convergent and divergent thinking exercises, aimed at defining (and aligning) product concepts that would become the guiding vision for the next three years, company-wide. Along with the tools developed for the workshops, vision narratives and animated videos are important collateral of this work.

Diversity & Inclusivity Processes

My role: Content Committee member & change management facilitator

The challenge: Identify issues of potential D&I insensitivity and develop plans and/or process improvements for addressing these issues. This area of socially conscious content is an ongoing focus and a passion of mine. See examples of both internal and external projects by clicking the link.
