Greetings,
I focus on monetization and premium acquisition on Adobe Express. Before that, I designed onboarding and monetization flows at Hints, an AI productivity tool, and worked in strategy and marketing to connect user needs with business goals.

Shaped the Premium Preview experience to ease the transition from free to paid across key features by delaying paywalls and keeping users engaged before upgrade prompts.

Monetization for Adobe Express

Improving monetization for Adobe Express: simplifying paywalls, launching new bundles and Gen AI features, and increasing Free-to-Trial conversions.

AI-Powered User Journeys

Hints

At Hints, I designed their AI assistant from 0 to 1, focusing on onboarding, integration, and monetization to drive engagement and retention.

Leadership and mentoring
Beyond design, I mentor through ADPList, Women in Tech, and Adobe programs, and have spoken at NYU. I'm always open to speaking, jury, and mentorship opportunities.
