ReferralExchange

ReferralExchange is a CRM platform designed for real estate agents to manage their referral networks - helping them track and exchange client referrals with other agents across the country.

Contribution: I transformed how real estate agents manage referrals by designing a comprehensive CRM platform across web and mobile (iOS/Android). My high-converting lead generation funnel became the company's revenue engine—directly generating $50M while facilitating $120M in real estate transactions. Beyond user-facing design, I optimized internal operations through sales tools and backend improvements, and established our market presence by designing and coding the company website.

ReferralExchange was my proving ground—where I transitioned from architectural design thinking into high-stakes digital product design and discovered that great UX isn't just about usability, it's about measurable business impact.

Working across web, iOS, and Android for 140K+ real estate professionals taught me to think in systems, not just screens. I learned that a well-designed lead generation funnel could drive $10M in revenue, that cross-platform consistency requires both discipline and flexibility, and that the best design decisions come from understanding both user needs and business constraints deeply.

Building everything from the CRM core experience to internal sales tools to the company website (design and code) forced me to be versatile and scrappy. I became comfortable jumping between user-facing features and backend tooling, between strategic product decisions and tactical implementation. This T-shaped approach—going deep on UX while building broad capabilities—became the foundation of how I work.

But the most important lesson was about scale and impact. Seeing 140K agents adopt the platform, watching the $10M funnel convert, and knowing that my design decisions directly influenced $120M in real estate transactions taught me that design leadership isn't about craft alone—it's about driving outcomes that matter to the business and users alike.

This experience set me up perfectly for IBM, where the problems got exponentially more complex, but the fundamentals remained the same: simplify complexity, validate relentlessly, and always connect design decisions to business value.
