Hi, I'm Dani!

Here's what I've been up to!

FEATURED

Reimagining Compliance Through Systems Thinking

In highly regulated fintech environments, precision isn’t optional. This case study explores how I led the design of scalable compliance controls—balancing user experience, regulatory requirements, and cross-functional alignment to reduce risk without sacrificing usability.

SYSTEMS THINKING & STRATEGY

Digial Account Opening

Security shouldn’t disrupt familiarity. This configuration system enables users to personalize how security measures show up across their devices—offering protection that adapts to context without compromising trust.

DESIGN SYSTEM & STANDARDS

Design Library Expansion: Dark Mode

Dark mode is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s a baseline expectation, especially for users who’ve already set their device preferences. This project aims to bring our system up to modern standards by building a dark mode that feels intentional and polished.

DESIGN SYSTEM & STANDARDS

Creating Page Templates

We often focus on solving for end users, but this time the friction was inside our own walls. By creating a system of flexible templates, we brought consistency, speed, and harmony back to our process.

UI POLISH

Commercial Dashboard Redesign

Sometimes all a product needs is a visual reset. This redesign focused on elevating the look and feel of our commercial dashboard — enhancing first impressions, supporting sales conversations, and reminding users that utility can look good too. Because polish isn’t fluff — it’s strategy.

UI POLISH

Redesigning Southwest Getaways (Case Study)

When Southwest Airlines rolled out their refreshed Getaways experience, I was excited to see how they’re making bundled travel easier. It also sparked a question for me as a designer: What if I challenged myself to reimagine this? Could I possibly create an alternate experience that feels even more intuitive and brand-aligned? The answer is, "Heck Yeah!"

DESIGN SYSTEM & STANDARDS

Redesigning Aither Dashboard (Coming Soon)

Legacy tools can’t keep up with modern expectations. This redesign reimagines the Aither Dashboard as a scalable, intuitive system — one that prioritizes clarity, usability, and visual harmony. By establishing a unified design language and surfacing the information that matters most, this project moves the platform from functional to future-ready.

SYSTEMS THINKING & STRATEGY

Personalized Authorizations

Security shouldn’t disrupt familiarity. This configuration system enables users to personalize how security measures show up across their devices—offering protection that adapts to context without compromising trust.

Hi Im Dani 👋🏾

Im a product designer from Miami who’s been obsessed with technology since the first time I opened up Microsoft Paint. I graduated from Florida International University and somehow turned my childhood curiosity with computers into a career centered around structure, systems, and thoughtful design.

Outside of work, I’m the go-to friend for organizing itineraries, picking the perfect scent, and catching flight deals at 3AM. I believe good design is less about trends and more about trust — and I’m always looking for opportunities to build products that feel just as intentional as they are intuitive.

Let's Play Two Truths and a Lie 🕵🏾

Hover over each line to reveal the truth

I taught myself Photoshop at age 11 

True. I taught myself Photoshop CS4 on a busted laptop with Sims 2 running in the background.

One time I drove around the city in a giant Pikachu costume        

True! While in Japan I drove around Shibuya in a giant Pikachu costume.

 I once got flown out to Nike HQ for a design competition 

False! This would definitely be the opportunity of a lifetime! Might as well speak it into existence!
