DoorDash


Food ordering and delivery app used by 18M+ consumers, 450K+ merchants,  and 1M+ delivery couriers at the time.
As a Kleiner Perkins Engineering fellow and designer on the team, I led the new user experience for the new landing page and the accompanying user flows for the new DoorDash for Business (DD4B) program.

D4B aimed to create a standalone experience for office managers and companies ordering food for meetings and events—one that was more reliable, streamlined, and tailored than the existing consumer site. It aimed to help businesses offering corporate meals or large-scale orders for meetings, gatherings, or large corporate occasions.
