Wealthsimple is a Canadian investing platform with $15B+ in AUM and 3M+ clients.

I led design on projects like the main home view (twice), account funding, and a bunch more that I can't remember. I also spent a chunk of my time as a product manager focused on building and launching Wealthsimple UK.

Between Wealthsimple and working on Give full time, I spent a few months at a friend's company as their interim Head of Design. I designed the first complete version of the product, helped create the brand and art direction, and hired the next designer at Felix.
