Try the safety filters I designed at Reddit.

Reddit’s moderator tools live behind a login, so I rebuilt the six-filter safety suite I led design on (2021–2026) — including the design system and component library it runs on — as something you can actually use. Same settings, toggles, dropdowns, and test simulations as the real version. Switch between filters using the tabs.

Working settings, toggles, dropdowns, tag inputs, FAQ accordions, and a test-the-filter simulation. Interaction patterns match what shipped in the Reddit mobile and web apps.

03 · Case Studies in Progress

Four case studies. In progress.

Six years of Trust & Safety design at Reddit doesn’t fit in a launch banner. Full case studies are being written and will land here through Q2 2026:

  • 01
    Moderator Filter Suite

    Reddit’s six-filter ML-powered moderator safety suite, including Reddit’s first LLM-powered moderation tool (Harassment Filter, Q1 2024). Deployed across 100,000+ active communities. Live prototype above ↑

  • 02
    Platform-Wide Blocking

    Redesign from one-sided mute to mutual blocking, shipped to hundreds of millions of users. Designed the moderator carve-out that preserved admin function while preventing surveillance abuse. Covered by Engadget and Adweek.

  • 03
    Reporting & Content Lifecycle

    End-to-end redesign of the reporting UX and content lifecycle across iOS, Android, mobile web, and desktop. The user-facing path feeding 6.2M+ account actions per year.

  • 04
    Internal Operator Tooling

    Enforcement features on Reddit’s internal admin actioning tool used by Trust & Safety agents for reports, escalations, and appeals. Behind 99,492 hateful-content suspensions (Q3 2023) and 828 Moderator Code of Conduct investigations at 98% actionability (H2 2024).
