About
Hello. I'm Tina.
I'm a Senior Product Designer at Instacart, leading product design for the Health & Meals team. We're focused on making Instacart a more trustworthy place for people with dietary needs. I collaborate cross-functionally with PMs, writers, researchers, engineers, and data science to define and ship end-to-end experiences. Before that: DoorDash, Pinterest, Dropbox, Aiden Health, Laguro, and Yahoo. Nine years of shipping from zero-to-one and scaling what stuck.
I grew up in Saudi Arabia, Poland, Korea, China, Canada, and the US: six countries by the time I was twenty. It taught me that good design, like good translation, is mostly about respect: for context, for the person on the other side, for the things that don't translate.
Off the clock, I shoot 35mm stills and Super 8, throw vases on a wheel, and travel as much as I can. My dog Cooper supervises everything I do.
I write occasionally about design, taste, and the things between. The best way to reach me is by email.
