Product Design + Design Systems + Design Thinking

About

 

Hi! I’m a product design leader living in Miami, FL by way of New York.

I’ve worked across several different industries, most recently in fintech. Currently, I work as a VP at Blackstone, managing a UX team that works across all of Blackstone’s client and firm platforms. Before Blackstone, I led a product design team within Citi’s Global Consumer Bank’s Wealth division, working on Citi’s personal investing and trading tools across all platforms. At Citi, I oversaw the creation of the first brokerage trading platform for a global bank. My team’s work for Citi Self Invest won a company award out of 271 submissions, recognizing the successful launch of Citi’s no-fee self-directed investment accounts for all customers.

I’ve had a life-long interest in cultural anthropology, and I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember. I’ve built a career in product design rooted in design thinking: the intersection of my passion for design and understanding human behavior.

I’ve created experiences for several different industries and products: publishing and digital media, social media, SaaS, e-commerce, and ad tech.

I’m also very active in the design community, and spoke at the 2019 Vista Equity Partners UX Summit conference about my experience building a design system at Integral Ad Science — read my blog post about it!

I have extensive experience in end-to-end UX/UI, research and testing, design management, agile operations, and design systems.

I earned my BFA in Communication Design and Anthropology from Washington University in St. Louis.


I witnessed her grow as a leader and learn how to influence others
without wielding authority [...] She’s sharp, ambitious, and amiable.
