Builder & Systems Thinker Navigating Complexity at Scale

An Illustration that looks like me in the style of Notion's illustrations.

Who I Am

I’m a designer-turned-product leader, focused on building tools that make complex systems easy to understand and use. I’ve worked across big banks and startups, led full redesigns and scrappy launches, and always aim to ship work that actually gets used. Right now, I help lead JPMorgan Chase’s platform for commercial real estate lending.

Product Philosophy

Great products start by being useful, not just visionary. I believe in designing tools that earn user trust with each release—grounded in real needs and flexible enough to grow. MVPs shouldn’t be throwaways—they should be launch pads. My approach is to zoom into the details without losing sight of the system, working closely with tech partners to bring solutions to life.

Experience & Case Studies

I lead product strategy and design for JPMorgan Chase’s commercial real estate platform, owning experiences from 0→1 launches to enterprise-scale rollouts. I transitioned from design to product to stay close to execution and ensure continuity across vision, build, and rollout. My work spans foundational platform infrastructure, internal sales tools, and lead generation systems—all aimed at simplifying complex financial workflows for internal users.

‍

Highlight reel:

  • → Discovery Platform Led design and product launch for a new centralized system replacing four legacy apps, now the internal source of truth for CTL’s $140B+ loan portfolio.
  • → QuickSizer Designed and built a scenario modeling tool for bankers to instantly estimate refinance and purchase loans. Reduced quote time from days to minutes and drove revenue during rate shifts.
  • → CRE Lead Enablement Built a dynamic iframe-to-dashboard lead system that cut lead routing time from 7+ days to <1. Supported over $120M in originated loans across 40+ landing pages.
  • → Agency Reporting Suite Shipped bulk reporting capabilities for GSE deal prep, enabling a $400M+ Fannie Mae sale. Turned hours of manual work into minutes with reusable logic and UI.

Sole product designer at a fintech startup modernizing post-trade infrastructure across the global derivatives market. I owned design across multiple products but spent the bulk of my time building the central dashboard of the Trade Data Network, a complex data product used by major financial institutions (including JPMorgan Chase) to investigate and monitor trade activity.

‍

Highlight reel:

  • → Trade Data Network Dashboard – Designed the core UI for FIA Tech’s new flagship product. Delivered a flexible dashboard that broke down trades by counterparty, supported late trade detection, and enabled deep drilldowns—all with filters, save/share views, and enterprise-ready performance.
  • Ran user research and led client demos, helping secure $40M+ in funding during key partnership cycles.
  • Balanced speed with complexity, shipping 0→1 app while navigating technical debt, and domain-specific nuance in one of the most opaque corners of finance.

Joined the founding team early to help shape the product vision for a new AI-driven mental health platform. Focused on bringing structure and clarity to design explorations in a high-ambiguity space.

‍

Highlight reel:

  • Helped translate abstract concepts into tangible product directions, setting the stage for early pitch decks and prototyping for when they eventually hired a full-time designer.
  • Facilitated early design sprints to explore how AI/ML could deliver consistent, bias-resistant care experiences.

As a product designer on the team, I focused on shaping key features for GreenSlate’s all-in-one accounting and payroll platform. A big part of the role involved working closely with high-profile clients like Netflix, Disney, and HBO—collaborating directly to secure their business and refine the product to meet real-world production needs. The work was fast, high-stakes, and focused on building a platform with clear product-market fit in a competitive space.

‍

Highlight reel:

  • Designed tools that supported onboarding and operations for high-profile clients like Netflix, HBO, and Disney.
  • Helped refine the platform’s usability to strengthen product-market fit in a competitive space.
  • Worked cross-functionally with client success, product, and engineering to deliver fast iterations in a high-stakes environment.
