Case Studies

For the past nine years I’ve been building and leading the design organization at Mighty Networks — a platform that allows anyone to run a community, courses, memberships, and more together in one place. Take a look at some of my favorite projects here.

First App Experience

For years the experience of downloading the Mighty Networks app was crusty and abandoned. It languished as a P2 project, forever deemed not worth our time to update. Here I explore the value of making a killer first impression.

Introducing AI

When it became clear in early 2023 that AI was changing the tech industry, we held a hackathon to ensure Mighty was using this awesome technology to our advantage, and ultimately released a powerful set of AI features.

Unlocking People Magic

As a B2B2C company, Mighty Networks has to balance catering not just to our Hosts, but to their members. In my experience, if you build for the members, the Hosts will follow, so how do we make that experience truly magical?

A Mighty What If…

At Mighty we’ve struggled to identify a core persona or user flow for our Hosts. Here I explore what it might look like if we changed our experience to narrow in on a few of our biggest features, and its potential business impact.

Spaces and Membership Plans

In 2022, we took on an ambitious, structural reorganization of our product. We completely rebuilt the mental model, navigation system, and internal architecture, and it was no small feat. Did it paid off? (Spoiler - yes, big time)

Make Mighty Cool

How do you build a product organization that not only understands the value of design, but actively contributes to creating delightful interactions in a product? I spearheaded an initiative called “Make Mighty Cool” to get full organization buy in on the power of design details.

Building Remote Culture

I played a key role in building our product organization at Mighty, specifically scaling our design team from 2 members to 10, all while navigating the new waters of working remotely. Here I explore the challenges of rapidly building a collaborative and creative environment online.

A Unique Design System

I built our design system at Mighty from the ground up, before many of the best practices and collaborative tools that exist today. It’s unique to our team and our development cycle, and has grown into a company wide documentation system of our product.
