Increase rider awareness of safety features
Uber - Product Design
Safety Checkup is a gamified experience to encourage Riders to turn on Safety tools. I designed Safety Help, a new module within the experience which helps bring awareness to the Help options available in the app such as Call 911.
Encourage driving behavior change
Uber - Lead UX Researcher
The new Driving Insights dashboard provides Drivers information about their driving, including a cumulative score and how it compares to other drivers in their area to encourage behavior change. I was lead researcher on this project in which insights informed the improved design with a progress arc showing a cumulative score.
Enable California drivers to maintain access to Uber
Instructional design for a mandatory educational course for California Drivers. The state of California requires all Drivers to take a course on safety and harassment in order to use the Uber platform. I led the instructional design and flow launch of this course to ensure a good user experience while balancing information retention for drivers who are eager to get on the Uber app.
Uber - Instructional Designer
Seamlessly book events and create special memories
Prototype - Lead UX Designer & Research
A high fidelity concept for Sol restaurant’s event reservation app which allows customers to conveniently book birthday parties, anniversaries, or any special event through the app. I managed every step of the UX design process from ideation to iteration.
