Voice UX + Product Strategy

“What the Poop”

Hands-Free Support Powered by Voice

End-to-end rollout, from new-parent research to a company-wide Google Home launch.

 Overview 
For new parents, a dirty diaper is a visual cue for their baby's digestion and nutrition. Before 2020, most parents could bring questions like this to a routine pediatrician visit but, when COVID made
in-person visits harder to come by, more parents were turning to the web for feeding advice, often without a reliable source.

 Objective 
How could Enfamil use voice technology to ease parents' concerns about feeding issues, while still building a bridge to their pediatrician?

 Solution 
In 2019, I led the activation and development of "What the Poop," a Google Voice App that helps parents decode the color and texture of their baby's poopy diapers hands-free.

The experience was intentionally non-diagnostic, designed to protect user privacy by storing no PII and making no external API calls.

 Outcome 
In 2020, Enfamil became the first infant-nutrition brand to launch a Google Voice Assistant, providing timely support as COVID disrupted routine pediatric care.

Strong task completion, engagement, and low drop-off validated the experience and secured executive buy-in for an Alexa expansion.

Full-Funnel Performance Marketing, ML-Driven CX

Neuriva, Brain Health

Transforming Reckitt’s underperforming launch
into a scalable growth engine.


Overview 
Neuriva set out to put brain health into consumers' hands. But when marketing performance fell short, it was clear the brand needed more than a media refresh. It needed a fundamentally different way to reach and convert consumers.

 Solution 
I led the UX and Design Strategy within a cross-functional Agile Pod to pilot Neuriva’s digital transformation. We introduced a performance marketing model that used real-time, cross-channel data to optimize the consumer journey and drive measurable growth.

Outcome 
The pilot increased target reach + sales, unlocking greater investment in digital activation. Its success extended beyond Neuriva, becoming a blueprint for digital-first ways of working across Reckitt. I helped scale the model by leading an in-house design team, facilitating cross-functional workshops, and creating test-and-learn playbooks for company-wide adoption.

Solution:
Consumers want allergy relief but are not fully aware of what’s making them sneeze.

To help Zyrtec connect with these consumers, my team leveraged the brand’s assets to creative captivating  Ad units to educate + entice users to enable Zrytec’s "AllergyCast"Skill.

Solution:
Create an advertising repository where Amazonians worldwide can leverage / share insights to drive efficiencies, foster scalable innovations, and generate ad revenue growth.
Results:
There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing your concept seedling transform into a real-world Amazon experience after years of ux research, program doc writing, iterative
