Education

Finance first, design second.

A background in banking and accounting is an unusual route into product design — and the reason fintech interfaces feel like familiar territory rather than a new domain.

Sectors

Where the work has lived.

Regulated banking — where a misread number has a cost. Industrial SaaS — where the user is on a construction site, not at a desk. AI products — where the interface has to make an uncertain answer honest.

The common thread is density: a lot of information, a user under time pressure, and no room for a decorative interface.
