Let’s build something together
Hi, I’m Jason. I’m a Lead product designer that designs for financial inclusion and economic empowerment.
Currently
@ Earnest, I lead product design for both lending products: the student loan origination and the flagship student loan refinancing product responsible for $6 billion annually- Leading the redesign of the loan application flow optimizing drop-off points to increase loan signs by 13% as well as leading experimentation design and funnel conversion efforts.

I design…
…to teach others
For onboarding for my new direct report, I thought about the assumptions we as managers make about the hats someone is expected to where or how they are expected to show up in their role and we could do a better job communicating that. I created these two decks setting expectations about these things.
For new designers, we often don’t discuss the hats you’re expected to wear while being embedded in a product team: conversation facilitator, product maker, problem solver, and presenter.
Product Design Problem Solving
How do you go about problem-solving, what are the questions you ask yourself when presented with a new feature request or initiative?
