At Reinsurance Group of America (RGA), I owned end-to-end product design for an enterprise reinsurance platform, covering workflows for technical teams and underwriters. I also shaped the UX/UI direction for AI-enabled features, two of which shipped to production.

At Scotiabank, I shaped Scotia Connect, a global business banking platform that replaced legacy systems across Mexico and Colombia. I directed design for a File Upload workflow that removed two steps from the payment process and enabled more than $44B in cash-flow volume in its first month in Colombia.

At ArkusNexus, I led product design for startup and enterprise client teams, including Medi-Sci, a clinical trials platform spanning mobile, tablet, and web. I also helped embed UX into the company’s agile delivery process and mentored two UX/UI bootcamp cohorts.
