Northern Trust

At Northern Trust I lead the design of internal web applications that support the flow of data across the organization. My work focuses on creating a cohesive user experience for a growing ecosystem of analyst tools, operational workflows, and enterprise SaaS platforms. I specialize in turning complex data relationships into clear, reliable, and repeatable interactions that help teams work faster and with more confidence.

problem

Teams across the business rely on large volumes of data that move through multiple systems and decision points. The tools supporting these workflows were built at different times, with different logic, visual patterns, and navigation models. This resulted in confusion, slow onboarding, unclear ownership of data, and friction between steps in the lifecycle. Users needed a simple way to understand where data comes from, how it is used, and how it changes as it moves across the enterprise.

solution

I am creating a unified experience layer that connects internal applications through shared interaction patterns, consistent workflows, and a modern design system built for data heavy tasks. This work standardizes components, reduces redundancy, and establishes a clear visual language for complex analytical interactions. I also define patterns for how data products, quality signals, lineage, and approval steps should appear and behave across the entire ecosystem. The result is an internal product environment that feels stable and predictable, even when the underlying systems are complex.
