Shaping experiences for ultra high-net-worth individuals at J.P. Morgan Private Bank.

2025-Present

VP Design — J.P. Morgan Private Bank

Shaping best-in-class digital products and experiences for one of the world's most trusted private banks. I focus on transforming complex financial tools into intuitive, human-centred journeys that help clients make informed decisions and feel confident about their wealth.

I champion high craft, strategic clarity and an open, collaborative culture — partnering closely with product, engineering, and stakeholders to push what's possible. Beyond the work, I mentor a talented design team, raise the bar for visual and interaction quality, and ensure every experience we deliver reflects the trust and care our clients expect.

When I'm not designing, you'll find me running around with my two young daughters, exploring the outdoors and tracking down the best food London has to offer — usually all at once.
