Role:
Vice President Experience Design
Years:
2018-2024
As a product designer at J.P. Morgan’s investment bank, I loved the complexities of the design challenges I found there. Working on a variety of investment tools from J.P. Morgan’s suite of products, where billions of dollars were traded daily, the stakes are high and expectations are higher.
Data needed to be articulated with exacting precision, interactions required the utmost accuracy, clarity of messaging is paramount, and all while looking slick and engaging. Working with teams to find innovative, elegant and scalable solutions in this space brought me so much satisfaction.
I lead the design direction across our multiple data and analytics applications, predominantly dashboard interfaces that consisted of charts, graphs, infographics, maps, and other visual tools. These products enabled clients to complete complex tasks, including large value trades, analysing risk and recognising trends and outliers. Creating interfaces that enable our clients to move millions of dollars worth of investments with the utmost confidence has been a real career highlight.

Portfolio Management
Leading the design vision on J.P. Morgan’s range of solutions for portfolio management has honed my skills in stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration. For me, the key has been highlighting the overlap between business goals and user needs. I’ve found success when I have prioritised clear and frequent communication, taken time to listen and understand a product and teams’ unique challenges, and focused on flexible rather than regimented solutions.
Working in an environment that demands speed, while navigating the many restrictions of corporate banking has strengthened my ability to stay focused on core objectives, and adjust my approach to keep moving forward.

When financial, technical and creative experts come together it’s a powerful combination, but can easily be undone with our individual processes and jargon. I’ve found it essential to create a safe space where there are no dumb questions. The most effective I have been as a design leader is to ensure everyone at the table feels confident and secure in their own area of expertise. This environment naturally lends itself to a place of learning, respect, generosity and creativity, and it make the rest of the job feel easy.
