Strategic Product Design Leader

ABOUT

Signal to strategy. I partner with teams to transform data complexity into design clarity that drives decisive action and shapes the future.

8+ years designing financial experiences for millions of users at Chase, USAA, PayPal, Venmo, and Capital One. I solve complex problems (regulatory compliance, fraud prevention, data visualization) that directly drive engagement, conversion, and growth. 📈

I push boundaries, reject conventional solutions, and mentor teams to deliver breakthrough results that transform user experience and business performance.
