Portfolio
Work Experience
Lead User Experience Designer
Deutsche Bank
- Led the UX and VD designers teams to design a global scale, data-driven, and workflow-based suite of applications for anti-financial crime investigators. A highly complex digital transformation project involving internal KYC and screening systems.
- Managed the end-to-end UX process, from project kick-off meetings with business stakeholders, gathering requirements, and design workshops to delivering personas, user journeys, high-detail wireframe specifications, and clickable prototypes.
- Supported front-end teams, closely working with developers to ensure the implementation was up to the specifications.
- Reviewed and discussed requirements, working in an Agile Scrum methodology to deliver UX artifacts as part of the product design team.
Lead User Experience Designer
Thomson Reuters
- Ran extensive research into the Refinitiv Eikon platform to identify inconsistencies, issues with implementation, navigation, the core UI, and many other aspects. Developed a massively improved new framework, which was designed from scratch.
- Helped the product team build a rule book where the interface, interaction, and navigation models were re-defined. This document is essential as hundreds of developers and designers highly depend on a common framework to build their apps.
- Built clickable prototypes and concept work, conducted user research and testing sessions to validate our design ideas, documented findings, and presented to the main business stakeholders. Research set the foundations of the new Refinitiv workspace.
Lead User Experience Designer
Schlumberger
- Designed an application as part of an SLB's DELFI app suite called CorporatePlan. The project contained extraordinarily complex and dense economic evaluation modeling based on research and live data.
- Built personas, user journeys, and high-level design concepts to demonstrate how to carry out oil and gas exploration and economics evaluation activities across different ranges of oil companies and organizations.
- Conducted design workshops with business stakeholders, brainstorming sessions, and presentations to senior stakeholders to get buy-in on the new concept design.
- Worked with multi-region teams across the globe, Calgary, Moscow, Hong Kong, and Dubai.
Lead User Experience Designer
Virgin Media
- Worked as a lead UX consultant on various projects, from integrating new GSM technologies or regulatory projects to new product releases. I was part of the digital team on a contract basis.
- Designed user journeys and wireframes for the new eSIM technology, which demanded an utterly different activation requirement as there would be no physical SIM card. It had a lot of complexity between phone brands, tablets, and offline processes.
- Created over 500 pages of wireframes to describe PAC and STAC code retrieval for transferring existing mobile numbers between providers. This project also required user journey work to understand how customers can switch to a new provider.
- Developed user journeys for new product purchases, such as 4G tablets and eSIM phones, to define how a user can discover, select and go through new checkout journeys.
Lead User Experience Designer
JATO Dynamics
- Acted as a lead UX designer in designing an app for car manufacturers to model, design, evaluate and build new cars, allowing market valuation, price comparison, and analysis. An extremely data-heavy and complex system with many different features.
- Conducted requirement gathering sessions with stakeholders, product designers, and business analysts. Provided solutions to challenging UI problems and produced high-level wireframes and user journeys to present ideas to stakeholders.
- Handled a detailed design system, including visuals, interaction patterns, and behavior specifications.
- Delivered high and low-level prototyping, including UI animations.
- Created over 500 pages of wireframes and documentation.
