McKinsey & Company
Lead AI Product Designer
Design Lead on McKinsey’s IDA platform — consolidated fragmented workstreams (Research, Transactions, Value Creation) into a single unified AI decision-support application, now in active use by McKinsey clients on live engagements.
- Designed core platform surfaces — reports, data-heavy modules, research workspace, projects, and integrations.
- Built the global and project-level IDA AI Chat from scratch, paired with an Agents Library system that lets users run agents in their workflow — now leading its design as the platform’s next major capability.
- Own the full design-to-deployment cycle: IA, token-based design system, and UI built from the ground up, working in Claude Code and Figma and shipping prototypes to Vercel for validation before engineers deploy to production.
