Selected work

Case notes on high-stakes work.

Two engagements at a national financial services provider. Method and rigor, no proprietary screens. Finance is the proof environment — the skill transfers. Fuller detail under NDA.

01 · Enrollment rebuild · P2P payments

Rebuilding P2P enrollment.

Lead product designer 2023 to 2025 · National financial services provider

Problem

A widely used P2P payments product needed a clearer, safer enrollment journey. Network requirements had tightened. Satisfaction was slipping — especially for overseas military members who needed enrollment to work the first time.

What she did

Led product design across a multi-year effort. Facilitated workshops across Product, Risk, Ops, Engineering, and Legal. Ran paired concepts through usability testing. Built the rationale that helped Risk and Legal say yes faster.

Outcome

Enrollment completion up about 20%. Member satisfaction up about 20%. Sharp drop in “I thought I was already enrolled” complaints. Network requirements met.

02 · Trust at decline · Service blueprint

Clarity for transaction declines.

Lead product designer 2025 · National financial services provider

Problem

Declines were the top NPS detractor across tens of millions of monthly transactions. No single team owned the full picture. Members felt confused and unsupported at checkout.

What she did

Led service design across fraud, credit risk, cards, digital, and the contact center. Combined quant (NPS, decline codes) with Voice of Member and a competitive scan. Produced a journey and service blueprint.

Outcome

Reframed declines as a member trust problem, not only a risk problem. Executive journey and opportunity map shaped the backlog.
