☺︎ About me

Hello! I’m a designer with over 12 years of experience crafting thoughtful, inclusive designs for large-scale digital products. I’m a versatile generalist, excited to jump in at all stages of the product lifecycle – from strategy and ideation to launch and storytelling. For the past 4+ years, I’ve led and managed high-performing design teams, using my experience to mentor, set clear vision, and drive meaningful, user-centered outcomes.

When I’m not at my job designing, you can find me in my free time also designing — working on branding and packaging at Song Tea & Ceramics.

BMO

Sr. Design Manager - US Sales and Secure (Aug 2023 - May 2025)

When Bank of the West was acquired by BMO, I was tasked with managing the newly formed US design team. Working closely with product, research and content partners, our team of 7 designers supported multiple agile teams across US deposit applications, sales and offers, and the US digital banking application for desktop and mobile.

Projects included:

• Together with senior leadership, created northstar prototypes to set our long-term vision and align strategy with product and business stakeholders.
• Built the first component library for US design work, successfully advocating for variable use across the design system and a new secondary color palette to support dark mode.
• Launched account summary redesign, improving layout and navigation for main dashboard of online banking, as well as set direction for innovating and modernizing our visual design.
• Led research driven improvements to account opening and sales journey.
