Hi, I'm Steph.

I ask a lot of questions until things click.

I'm a product designer based in NYC, currently at BNY where I'm helping make complex lending workflows a little less painful. I care about desining thoughtful, intuitive experiences - especially in complex systems.

A little bit about me.

I moved to the U.S. during high school, and that experience completely changed my perspective. Being in a new environment, learning a new language, and constantly navigating unfamiliar situations taught me how to adapt, ask questions, and stay curious.


Design became a way for me to make sense of complex things - and to help others do the same. I/m drawn to messy problems, ambiguous spaces and the chanllenge of turning them into clear, usable experiences.

When I'm not designing, you'll probably find me…
