User Experience Design Lead focused on scalable, measurable digital experiences.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic User Experience Design Lead with over 25 years of hands-on experience creating impactful digital solutions across industries. I apply design thinking and current UX/UI best practices to deliver user-centered designs that increase engagement and satisfaction.
At JPMorgan Chase & Co., I led redesigns for onboarding and origination flows that increased new account openings by 13% year over year, adding 8.6 million accounts and roughly 15,700 additional monthly completions. I also built scalable UI patterns in Figma and helped implement a cross-line component and pattern library.
Previously, as a Senior Graphic Designer and Art Director, I led large rebranding and high-volume campaign efforts, standardizing workflows and asset management to improve efficiency — reducing production costs by 20% and supporting significant client growth. I partner closely with product, engineering, research, analytics, marketing, and regional teams to align design with business objectives.
I also operate as a creative consultant providing brand, identity, and digital design services for arts and mission-driven organizations, delivering visual identity systems, collateral, and websites that strengthen audience engagement and reinforce brand purpose.
