Worked at Credit Sesame/STACK as a Senior Product Designer where I enhanced and elevated design practices. During my time in the role, I fostered an environment of collaboration by mentoring the junior designers on our team, facilitating discoveries that resulted in better UX patterns for users, building relationships with white label clients, and working with cross-functional partners to manage and deliver products of value to our white label clients. To keep track of our progress, we collaborated on platforms like Zeppelin and Jira. I took the lead on building and further developing the Credit Sesame design system “Seed” as well as solidified UI patterns for both iOS and Android screens. I created and adjusted design systems with clients' typography, colours, and brand elements that were then integrated throughout the app for iOS and Android.
