Excited to share that I recently joined @perplexity_ai as a product designer / ui engineer, working alongside a phenomenal team (and @henrymodis, again!). AI-native search is just beginning to take flight and I’m happy to get to play a small part in its development. Let’s go!

this is a foundational reconstruction of what a perplexity answer can be, and opens up opportunities for deep, immersive experiences across nearly any category on the platform. Really excited to see how we can perplexify search across all these new modes.
