Work
Selected projects, 2023 – present.
A mix of shipped product work and exploratory research. Most of my Deutsche Bank work is under NDA — happy to walk through it on a call.
Leadership & community
Senior practice beyond shipped product
Alongside delivery, I invest in teaching, mentoring, public speaking, and competitive design work — the practice that compounds into senior-level impact.
Public speaking · Internal & community
Tech talks to live audiences
Regular speaker at internal and community events, sharing hard-won lessons from real projects:
- Figma vs Production: closing the discrepancy gap
- AI use cases in the bank
- Designing intuitive interfaces for AI tools
- Copilot for designers
- "When it didn't work, until it did" — navigating project struggles

Pupils Workshops at Deutsche Bank
Each year, high-school students visit Deutsche Bank for a week-long UX/UI design course I designed and delivered — introducing them to product thinking, interface design, and how digital products get built inside a global bank.
Team lead · Winner

Led a cross-functional team to a 1st-place finish in a charity hackathon focused on dementia care — concept, design, and pitch shipped in 48 hours.
Beyond the work
dbPride & inclusion
Alongside my product work, I'm part of dbPride, the LGBTQ+ employee network at Deutsche Bank. As a transgender person, this experience has further shaped the way I think about identity, inclusion, communication, and the human impact of systems and technology.
I care deeply about designing products that are not only efficient and intelligent, but also thoughtful in the way they interact with people.
