Turo - Search Experience

Prior to me joining, Turo's search experience was optimized for conversion, not discovery. We made it difficult for guests to find the right car. We redesigned the experience from the ground up during one of Turo's fastest periods of growth, resulting in +$15m GBV, +2% trip days, and our highest booking conversion to date.
