Zumper

As a Product Designer at Zumper, the largest apartment rentals startup, I worked closely with product, engineering, growth, marketing, and sales to ship numerous projects across renter and landlord products. Here's a fraction of what I worked on.

Building detail page

Key Collaborators: Head of Product // Frontend Engineer // CTO // Head of Growth

Goal

Increase conversions to apartment building detail pages, and debut an apartment units data model.

Outcome

We shipped three iterative versions, increasing conversion rate by 33% from an older design that converted better than the existing design, eliminating a painful experience of unstable interactions, and simplifying our frontend code.

Mini listing cards

Key Collaborators: Head of Product // Frontend Engineer

Goal

Address several UX pain points of summarized listing cards that are shown throughout the homepage, detail pages for similar listings, and city pages.

Outcome

My redesign restored broken layouts, fixed illegible text and buttons, and stripped out unnecessary information, under a unified and adaptive design.

Nearby points of interest map

Key Collaborators: Head of Product // Mobile Team Lead // iOS Engineer // Android Engineer

Goal

Upgrade the native apps' barebones map to bring it closer to feature parity with the web version.

Outcome

The iOS and Android map streamlines our web version with a more focused, one-at-a-time category viewing experience. I compromised a lot to arrive at a good user experience while minimizing engineering time and effort.

Search by drawing

Key Collaborators: Head of Product // Frontend Engineer // CTO

Goal

Bring PadMapper's ability for people to search within custom boundaries drawn directly on the map to Zumper's Map-List search results view.

Outcome

I used analytics from PadMapper to design a more intuitive and simplified version of the draw tool.

Zumper Pro listing creator

Key Collaborators: Head of Product // Business System Engineer // Customer Success Operations

Goal

Add the oft-requested ability for Zumper Pros (landlords, property managers, etc.) to upload floor plan images to their listings.

Outcome

Keeping in the existing Pro product style, I used existing components to add a floor plan image uploader, while redesigning the floor plan editor for future scalability of additional data inputs.
