About Cecily
Lead product and UI designer with 14 years of experience designing polished, accessible digital products across web and responsive platforms. Expert in visual design systems, pixel perfect interface design, and scalable UI patterns that support complex product ecosystems.
Currently Head of Product Design at TravelBank (U.S. Bank), where I lead a team of six designers while remaining deeply involved in hands-on product and design system work. Previously designed user-centric experiences for an array of companies and clients, including AARP, Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), Goldman Sachs, GoTab, Hyatt, Marriott, Mandarian Oriental, and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
When I'm not designing and drinking coffee, you'll most likely find me cycling, eating peanut butter straight from the jar, spending quality time with my family, and/or re-reading Tolkien’s classics.
