About Rachel

About Rachel☝🏻

I’m a product designer based in New Jersey and New York with experience designing complex, highly regulated products. At Colonial Surety, I led research and design for the marketing site, product application flows, and policy management dashboards across multiple user types.

From Numbers to Design: I began my career in finance, where I worked with data, rules, and risk for 4 years. Ultimately, wanting to be closer to real user problems, I transitioned into product design and used my background in mathematics and psychology to translate complex requirements into clear, usable systems.

`How I add value to teams`

I provide structure, clarity, and alignment to resolve complex team issues.

Clarifying complexity

I turn complex rules and ambiguous problems into clear, structured systems.

Business-aware designs

I balance user needs with business and regulatory constraints.

Scalable systems thinking

I design systems that scale as products and rules evolve.

Evidence-based decisions

I use research and data to guide design decisions.

Cross-functional collaboration

I collaborate with cross-functional teams to align on effective solutions.

`A little more about me`

I’m naturally curious and enjoy exploring new experiences. Traveling and visiting museums and places like Disney or Universal inspire me to observe how storytelling, systems, and environments shape user experiences. At home, I enjoy playing board games with family and friends (I have over 20!) and spending time with my cat. Boree. 🐈 🐾
