As a Senior Product Designer on the mobile app team, I led several exciting projects. One notable initiative was designing new account types that helped users monitor their carbon footprint based on their spending habits. β¨β¨I also played a key role in refreshing the brand and mobile interface, creating a user hub, and developing a new digital mailing center. These efforts greatly improved user productivity while elevating the overall app performance.
Additionally, I was the Senior Designer overseeing the design process for our final product, which guided users through a transition to a new banking experience due to an acquisition. This change significantly affected the bank's 2 million app users, and through research and teamwork, it was essential users felt secure and at ease throughout the transition.
