Driving Unified Product Experience Through Design Leadership

As Lead Designer at Lantern, a fund and portfolio analytics platform, I focus on elevating the experience across our complex financial products — improving usability, consistency, and connection between tools as the platform scales. I’m driven by creating genuine customer value through a deep understanding of user pain points and by always asking why — ensuring every design decision is purposeful and strategic.

I lead and scale a team of four designers, guiding them through significant organisational and product change. I pitched and drove the strategy for Lux, Lantern’s design system — bringing in the right skill sets and defining its vision from the ground up. Lux is now rolling out across products and will fully launch in 2026 — a major differentiator in the fund analytics market, unifying design, accessibility, and performance.

Highlights
• Leading a long-term re-architecture of core product flows to simplify complexity and strengthen user confidence.
• Defined shared design principles to align teams around value-driven outcomes.
• Directed the vision and rollout of Lux, Lantern’s modular design system built to scale across teams and products.
• Partnered across engineering and product to embed design thinking into strategy and delivery.

Outcome
A cohesive, scalable design foundation — currently in progress and set to be fully realised by 2026 — connecting Lantern’s analytics products into one unified experience and setting a new design benchmark in the fintech space.
