Hi! I’m Stephen, a Product Design Manager in the Canadian fintech industry.
First of all, welcome to my portfolio - I’m glad you’re here.
Here’s a bit about me:
8+ years of UX / Product Design industry experience
3+ years of design leadership experience
Currently leading a team of 9 designers ranging from junior to senior
Passion for team-building (ask me about how my team has the highest engagement score at my company)
My leadership philosophy is to listen first, facilitate clear goals, and set a high bar for quality in a systems environment
My work philosophy is that work should be inclusive, collaborative, and as fun as possible
If that sounds like someone who would be an asset to your team, please check out some of the projects I’ve been grateful to lead below.
From ideation to launch, and beyond
Moneris Go Retail POS (Point of Sale)
Moneris is the #1 payment processor in Canada.
The company identified an opportunity to leverage our dominant market share, especially in the retail industry, by building our own all-in-one point of sale solution for retail merchants. My team took this product from ideation to launch, and further as we develop our post-launch user research & feedback strategy.
Unifying design company-wide
Moneris Design System
When I joined Moneris, “design system” was a foreign term. Every product line had a completely different look & feel…. our verticals felt disjointed and brand trust was being eroded. Even worse, each team was building the exact same components without knowing, wasting hundreds of hours of development time. I was tasked with solving this issue.
Over the past 2 years, I lead a team who built the Moneris Design System from scratch.
