What’s my role at Upwork?

I’m a senior product designer; I focus primarily on the marketplace and pre-hire experience. It’s my job to help clients and freelancers find each other as quickly and efficiently as possible.

So what have I done?

I’ve been working at Upwork a while; I’ll stick to the recent stuff & keep it as brief as I can.

• Defined the Upwork component library Organized and designed the library, Expanded the library with components that supported a more asynchronous web app experience.

• Redesigned the search experience The primary goal of this was to move the focus to the freelancer’s tiles and away from the filters which had very low usage.

• Improved search relevance Added query guidance and recommendation reasons. Case study

• Redesigned the hiring flow Unified a disjointed flow and improved efficiency issues. Case study

• Services & Specializations Based on the search relevance project, I spread that concept across the marketplace. Setting up a system so job posts, searches, and profiles all matched that taxonomy. Case study

I can’t talk tooo much about it yet. The gist of it is working on the Upwork Enterprise hiring experience.
