Meet Brett 👋

Born, raised, and currently residing in New Jersey, I proudly embrace my love for all things Jersey; Porkroll, Springsteen, and The Sopranos.

My journey has been anything but traditional. I started as a concert photographer, spending weekends in the photo pit and even touring through Europe as the full-time photographer for a metal band

My passion for design grew out of my exploration of photography, leading me to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic & Interactive Design at Tyler School of Art & Architecture. There, I found my niche in user experience design, captivated by the challenge of creating impactful, user-centered solutions.

My design career… so far 👨‍💻

Formerly on the Global Banking Design Team at JPMorganChase as a product designer, a part of the Innovation Development Program’s Design Track.

At JPMorganChase, I helped lead a 7-month end-to-end redesign of an internal tool used by over 40k employees, collaborating closely with engineers and product teams to introduce a data-driven tool tailored to banker’s needs. My efforts including conducting user and usability interviews, directly influenced the implementation of new features. Additionally, I contributed to the expansion of the Story Design System, a bank-wide design system by developing and implementing three new components, now actively leveraged by over 80 designers.

My design background 🎓

In 2022, I graduated from Tyler School of Art & Architecture at Temple University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic and Interactive Design.

During my time at Tyler, I was able to learn the foundations of design with classes in Typography and Branding. I was able to forge my path here when I fell in love with user experience design, being able to blend my creativity with unique problem-solving was something that fueled me as a designer.

I dedicated my time in the Graphic & Interactive Design Program (GAID) to refining my design skills and learning as much as I could about user experience design.

My creative background 📸

Before my career in design, my creative career started with photography, specifically concert photography.

I was a touring photographer for SHVPES, a metal band from Birmingham, England. I traveled with SHVPES to over 10 countries in Europe and cities throughout North America documenting their live concerts during the 2018 and 2019 world tours.
