About me
About me
I’m a product designer focused on large-scale platforms and account experiences. At Pluto TV, I led end-to-end registration and authentication flows across web, mobile, and connected TV, supporting over 80 million users.
My work contributed to registered user growth from 10% to 43% and registered viewing from 10% to 57% through standardized authentication and onboarding optimization.
