Area Design Lead
As Area Design Lead, I was accountable for shaping how financial services were experienced across Zettle and PayPal. I connected organizational knowledge about money flows between the two platforms with user needs, ensuring complex financial processes translated into clear, trustworthy, and intuitive customer experiences.
I also drove discovery work for new Zettle services—such as appointment scheduling for hairdressers in the Zettle Go app—helping identify opportunities to expand the product offering, simplify workflows for small businesses, and unlock new revenue potential.
