Product design leader at Visa shaping payment experiences and card management for mobile apps and responsive web.

United States
Message

At Visa, I lead a distributed design team working on payment experiences and card management solutions for iOS and Android apps and responsive web.

Before my current role, I crafted end-to-end experiences at Visa, using conceptual exploration, data analysis, and user testing to validate design decisions and contribute to Visa’s global design system.

At Regions Bank, I led a remote team in establishing the organization’s first design system. We built token-based UI foundations, accessible patterns, and modular components, supported by design libraries and a documentation website.

Earlier, I created digital user experiences and brand work at Wray Ward, including responsive websites, mobile apps, and interactive campaigns. My experience also includes UX/UI design at Union (Joins Valtech) and a B.F.A. in Graphic Design from Appalachian State University.
