As a product designer and product owner with extensive experience in complex workflows, I take a user-centered approach to every project. I’ve participated in multiple beta programs, gaining deep insights into user needs and translating them into actionable, impactful solutions.
What sets me apart is my ability to drive products to completion in dynamic, fast-paced environments. I excel at defining MVPs, aligning cross-functional teams, and navigating complex processes to turn ideas into reality. My experience as both a designer and product owner allows me to innovate and see products through from concept to release, ensuring the user’s needs are always at the forefront.
I’m passionate about creating designs that empower users, improve workflows, and drive team success. Below are some of the features I take pride in.
As part of the Media Composer team, I designed the Transcript Tool, a feature that integrates speech-to-text technology directly into the video editing workflow. This tool allows editors to interact with real-time transcripts, making it easier to navigate footage, refine narratives, and select precise moments.
KEY FEATURES
Interactive Transcript: Click any word in the transcript to jump to that point in the video, enabling fast and accurate navigation.
Text-Based Selection: Select text to highlight corresponding video segments for quick editing.
Speaker Identification: Automatically tags dialogue to specific speakers, streamlining the editing process.
Timecode Syncing: Each word is timecoded for precise synchronization between video and transcript.
IMPACT
The Transcript Tool speeds up editing by reducing manual scrubbing and allowing editors to focus on the story. It enhances productivity, improves accuracy, and makes the editing process more intuitive.
“The more I use the transcription tool, the more uses I find for it. It’s a lot more helpful than I ever imagined, especially for finding those ‘off-script’ moments in takes.”
“Love the Transcript window. It’s intuitive, incredibly accurate, and supports multiple languages, which is a fantastic surprise.”
“This tool is fantastic. It’s snappier than ScriptSync and might replace it for me. Jumping to a specific word in the clip is incredibly fast and efficient. Well done!”
“This feature makes me happy beyond belief. The ability to see multitrack waveforms with the track label makes searching for and editing dialogue way easier. Thank you!”
“I love this new feature. It’s something I’ve always appreciated in Resolve and Premiere, and now having it here is fantastic.”
“This feature is such a game-changer. Searching for dialogue has become so much faster and more efficient.”
I designed Media Composer’s audio enhancements, improving flexibility and precision to bring it closer to Pro Tools, providing editors with more control over audio.
KEY FEATURES
Extended Clip Gain Range: Increased from 12dB to 36dB for greater control over subtle and large-scale audio edits.
Sub-Frame Automation Control: Enabled pixel-perfect precision for volume and pan automation, ideal for dialogue and sound design.
Extended Marker Colors and Fields: Doubled marker colors and expanded fields for easier cross-platform communication.
Extended Waveform Views: Source, Output, and Full Height views to assist with audio quality and sync.
Source Side Waveform in Source Monitor: Interactive waveforms for precise edits without using the timeline.
IMPACT
These enhancements aligned Media Composer with industry standards like Pro Tools while preserving ease of use, empowering editors to make finer adjustments and deliver faster, more polished audio edits.

FEATURE DESCRIPTION
I contributed to the Source Track Names feature for Media Composer, delivering a simple yet transformative enhancement that significantly improves workflow efficiency. Inspired by direct user feedback, this feature minimizes clicks and streamlines navigation, addressing a long-standing pain point for editors with a clean and intuitive solution.
KEY FEATURES
Automatic Track Labeling: Automatically displays source track names in the timeline, eliminating manual labeling or guesswork.
Enhanced Clarity: Instantly identifies audio and video tracks by their original source, reducing errors and improving accuracy.
Contextual Visibility: Adjusts track name visibility dynamically, keeping the timeline clean while offering immediate access to critical information when needed.
IMPACT
This seemingly small change has had an outsized impact on Media Composer users. By simplifying the process of identifying tracks, it reduces repetitive clicks and streamlines workflows, particularly in multi-track projects. Editors have praised its simplicity and efficiency, demonstrating how thoughtful design can make a powerful difference in daily workflows.
