Hi, I’m Emery.

I’m a Senior UX Designer at a Fortune 100 financial services company. I design experiences that ensure consistency and transparency between customer and associate interactions.

I bring together product design, service design, and qualitative research to create solutions informed by real user insights. My approach considers the entire service ecosystem so that every touchpoint, digital and beyond, is cohesive and streamlined.

Beyond wireframes and service blueprints, I thrive at facilitating design workshops — bringing cross-functional teams together to align on vision, uncover opportunities, and co-create better experiences.

From Art to Design

My path to UX design was anything but linear: I studied fine arts, worked as an artist liaison in the art world, then became a project manager at a digital marketing agency in the luxury real estate industry.

These career experiences sharpened my ability to empathize with customers, connect with diverse stakeholders, and translate complex business needs into clear, elegant solutions.

Today, I bring that same curiosity, adaptability, and creativity into my design practice — always aiming to bridge the gaps between customers, business, and technology.
