Software designer and engineer

As part of Astro’s Core Team (In Residency), I redesign Astro's landing page and crafted custom design assets for launch week 5, 6, and 7. By designing captivating and scroll-stopping visuals most of these launches went viral. As a result, Astro grew from 1 million monthly downloads in April 2024 to 3.2 million monthly downloads by September 2025.
