Overview
As part of Mozilla’s Moonshot Team, I led concept design for Firefox Work Mode — an experimental browser experience built for modern knowledge workers. I prototyped a focused workspace layer that leveraged Firefox Containers to separate professional contexts, streamline multi-account logins, and reduce tab clutter without compromising privacy. I also redesigned the Firefox Account and Recovery flows, modernizing the experience for over 170 million active users. This work helped influence future directions for contextual browsing — including the later Firefox Focus feature, which evolved the same principles of distraction-free productivity.

I've been thinking deeply about how design transforms technology for over ten years. I scale ideas from head-scratching kernels of 'what-if' into cutting-edge portfolios for Fortune 50 companies.
