    title: Founder
    role: Founder
    bio: As.a Product leader, I've worked on a breadth of problems, including building a cross-platform Checkout flow for Eventbrite, automating tour scheduling for Redfin and launching Xbox One. Bundle originated from a desire to help my sister, who founded a DTC beauty brand and was frustrated by the many limitations of her subscription app.
