I make complex systems feel effortless.
Hey! Iām Dani šš½
I'm a Philadelphia-based Senior UX Designer specializing in identity, authentication, and the kind of complex enterprise products that most designers never get close to.
At JPMorgan Chase , I'm the lead designer across three concurrent IAM products ā which means I spend my days making high-stakes security infrastructure actually usable for real people. The work is technical, the stakes are real, and I love every bit of it.
Design runs deeper than my job title. I obsess over interiors, I notice type on restaurant menus, and I genuinely believe the best design is the kind people never have to think about.
Always up for a good conversation about design. I also make excellent restaurant recommendations.
How I work.
Value 01
Complexity is a design problem, not an excuse. The harder the product, the more users need good design ā not less of it. I run toward the hard problems.
Value 02
Accessibility is the baseline, not a feature. If it doesn't work for everyone, it doesn't work. Full stop.
Value 03
Ship, learn, iterate. The best design is the one that gets in front of real people. Perfection is the enemy of progress ā and of good UX.
Q+A
What food(s) can you eat every day?
Tacos and pasta. Not negotiable.
What inspires you?
Exploring the city, current design trends, sunsets and being near water.
When you are not designing, what can we find you doing?
Trying a new restaurant in the city, deep in an interior design rabbit hole, traveling, rewatching Ted Lasso, or behind a camera.
As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
An astronaut ā specifically so I could jump out of a plane onto the inflatable slide. Still unclear how that would've worked with my fear of heights.
What is your career goal?
To lead. I want to be the person in the room who shapes how teams think about design, not just what they ship. I'm building toward that deliberately ā one complex problem at a time.
