Hi, I’m Bernadine.
I am a design leader—previously a Sr Product Design Manager at Instacart and Twitter—based in the Bay Area, CA with years of product and advertising experience. I enjoy building teams and empowering collaboration to tackle complex problems for customers.
My Mission
I aim to develop high-performing, customer-focused design teams that believes in excellent quality and craft. I lead with vulnerability in hopes to build trust and strong connections with people I manage and partner with, so together we can build successful products that deliver impactful results for customers and businesses.
Recent Work
The following are snapshots of the most recent work I oversaw as a Product Design Manager at both Instacart and Twitter and led as a Product Designer at Twitter. If you’d like to chat more about my experience, please reach out as I’d love to connect and provide more information!

The goal of the Home team in 2024 was to lead efforts to increase awareness, consideration and retention in non-grocery categories to support Instacart’s goal of being useful beyond groceries.
