I'm Larissa,

an NYC-based Lead Product Designer with over 9 years of experience, specializing in tackling complex design challenges, particularly in the financial services space.

My approach to design is rooted in user empathy and a clear, structured process. I thrive in cross-team collaboration, whether it’s brainstorming in jam sessions with developers, refining ideas through paper-sketched iterations, or diving deep into user testing to ensure we’re solving the right problems.

I’ve had the privilege of leading design teams both domestically and internationally, bringing together diverse perspectives to create innovative solutions.

My specialty lies in working with complex technical constraints and ambiguous asks, where creativity and problem-solving meet. Designing for me is not just about aesthetics; it’s about crafting experiences that truly work for people.
