HomeAway was founded in 2005 as an online vacation rental marketplace, connecting property owners with travelers seeking temporary housing. In 2015, HomeAway was acquired by Expedia Group and was later rebranded as Vrbo (pronounced "ver-bo") in 2019.
As a design manager, my role were two:
1. Ensure that all sub-companies under the HomeAway/Vrbo umbrella had a cohesive and consistent design language that made them look like part of the same family. This involved creating a design system that could be applied to each sub-brand, incorporating similar typography, colors, and other visual elements to create a unified brand identity across all platforms.
2. Scaling the design team to meet the demands of redesigning multiple sub-companies.
