Instacart

Over five years I worked across four teams, each at a different stage of the company's evolution.

I contributed to a platform vision that set the strategic direction for the entire app, launched a new navigation architecture, did a ground up redesign of our cart and checkout, created a collaborative household shopping experience, launched a cross company restaurant partnership, and shipped a new affordable offering for price sensitive customers.

The work earned two design patents, a promotion, and added up to hundreds of millions of dollars in run rate.

We created a net new surface for the app and looked to delight users and provide encouragement throughout the shopping journey.

We utilized motion and branded moments to create an inspiring and engaging experience.

We introduced a new way for people to get the food they love, creating a habit that quickly became a part of their lives.

And got special shoutouts from the CEO and CPO to say thanks.

An order-ahead app that treated the wait as part of the ritual. One of the most brand true product experiences I’ve worked on.
