When I rejoined Payday during the peak of its product relaunch, I led design for Payday 3.0, contributing to a platform that scaled to 800,000+ users growing at 40% MoM, processing 40,000+ daily transactions across global payments, virtual cards, and subscriptions. Payday went on to raise $5.1M following the relaunch. I led design for key features including enhanced onboarding, international payment flows, referrals, and a Subscription Manager that allowed users to track, manage, and cancel subscriptions directly in-app. I designed Payday Tickets for Davidoโs Timeless concert, enabling ticket sales directly within the app and generating โฆ7,000,000+ in revenue within 72 hours, proving the flexibility of Paydayโs money movement infrastructure. Alongside feature delivery, I rebuilt and standardized the design component library, improving consistency and enabling faster product iteration across teams.

My Role / How I Shaped The Product
My Role / How I Shaped The Product
I joined Payday for a second time as Product Designer, having previously partnered with the CEO to design Payday v1.0 in 2019. This time, I embedded closely with Product to design new features, expansions, and system improvements during a critical relaunch phase. I owned end-to-end design across core banking experiences including transfers, virtual cards, subscriptions, ticketing, and compliance-driven card disclosures, ensuring usability while meeting regulatory constraints. I led the rebuild of Paydayโs design system, establishing a scalable component library that supported rapid growth and multi-feature delivery. In parallel, I managed and mentored a team of 4 design interns, guiding them through feature launches and raising overall design quality during a high-growth period.
