Formerly @ Ernst & Young




Ernst & Young's Financial Crime Platform

I designed the Financial Crime platform by first researching the existing process, reviewing client needs and listening to user feedback and created a couple journey maps outlining the process and user pain points.

I did some ideation working up some sketches categorizing the steps into an architecture that made sense to the users. I then put together wireframes outlining the views. Testing them with stakeholders and users, I iterated through a number of versions until I had a very straightforward design.

Drawing on the existing styling templates I then created FIGMA renderings of the screens and presented the proposed process to senior management.

Formerly @ FedEx




FedEx Airline Scheduling

I redesigned the complex airline scheduling application by first researching the existing process and listening to user feedback and created a couple journey maps outlining the process and user pain points.

Legacy Application with retiring support staff and it was difficult to find new experienced staff.
  • 6 different applications consisting of 150 screens
  • multiple segmented workflows
  • site needed to work in conjunction with several offline files.
It would take a couple of hours at the least to schedule a trip and perform all the needed communications.

I documented the existing workflow and established a simplified new workflow and created wire frames and to eventually ended with this one-page application. I created a prototype to test with user groups and presented to stakeholders. I also worked with the DBAs and the service providers to create the APIs needed.

Pershing's NetXInvestor Digital Advice

I convinced senior management at Pershing that all the pieces needed for a Digital Advice experience already existed in the company they just needed to be digitized. I worked with business leaders and service developers to create a versatile customizable solution that could be applied to any of the 1,300+ Advisory Firms and Brokers Dealers. One of it's customizable features is a database driven questionaire that can be altered by firm.

The advisory folks were skeptical and felt we were automating their positions. After showing how their talent for creating performance would be evident in the investment modeling tool they were convinced to help and adapt the concept.

The Digital Advice solution won company accolades, attracted new business and sealed the deal bringing on one of Pershing's major clients. This product was very innovative for a bank such as Pershing and showed their clients and financial community their commitment to innovation.
