I’ve led design across products that simplify finances, enable creators to release monetized content, and manage payments. Internally, I help automate the unsexy stuff no one sees, tools that quietly drive real impact. Here’s a collection of products I've built to streamline workflows, reduce friction, and make everyday tasks feel effortless.

Hey! Just a heads up...

I’m currently still adding work to my portfolio. in the meantime, I’d be happy to share more projects on a video call.

HELOC screens on three phones

home equity line of credit (heloc)

I designed a simplified borrowing experience for a 0→1 HELOC product, helping homeowners access cash from their home equity without the traditional in-person bank visits. The flow guides users from eligibility to funding in minutes, fully online, fully transparent.

From sign up and onboarding to offer selection and document uploads, the experience was built to feel modern, fast, and stress-free.

Spare Music on a laptop and a phone

music distribution platform

This platform lets artists and labels release music and handle everything from royalties to analytics, all from one dashboard. Upload tracks, set payouts, and send music to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, TikTok, and more in minutes.

Labels can manage multiple artists, track releases, and automate payments with a few clicks. No spreadsheets. No chasing royalties. Just simple, scalable music distribution.

Two desktop screens from LoanWrite, a recreation of the underwriting tool

loan underwriting tool

I redesigned the internal tool Splash Financial’s underwriters use to take a loan file from queue to decision, with risk, documents, fraud checks, and compliance in one place.

It helped increase same-day approvals by 300% and save $200K a month in operations. The real tool is Splash’s IP, so this case study uses LoanWrite, my recreation of it.

Crypto wallet designs on two phones: token portfolio and NFT gallery

web3 crypto wallet

A side project I designed but never launched. I designed all of the user flows for a self-custody crypto wallet.

The screens show a token portfolio with send, receive, and buy, and an NFT gallery that shows collectibles as artwork.
