Initiative: New Platform For Registered Investment Advisors - EAS Connect, E*TRADE
Format: ReactJs Platform, High Fidelity Prototype for Desktop and Mobile, Video Presentation
Audience: Registered Investment Advisors with over $1B in Assets Under Management
--
The following is the presentation I built pitched to large RIA firms which included details on the platform I designed as UX architect and the actual screens implemented as part of the project. As I presented this to advisors, we reached roughly $20B in committed assets to the platform. 
This was a brand new platform which I was designed the framework of each screen, and then managed and oversaw a small team of designers to work with developers and product teams to ensure each screen was pixel perfect. I served as the main intermediary between product and technology to ensure that the product vision was fulfilled in a way that technology could delivery. The first phase of the project was completed in roughly 9 months.
The platform was built of the existing E*TRADE design language and chassis, but added additional flows, trading capabilities, and customized experiences for the institutional advisor. New features and designs that were added included block trading, customizable dashboard views, aggregate account views, onboarding features and more.

The following project are custom designed screens for a new self directed investing platform for First Citizens Bank Wealth Management. The current offering is dated, visually boring, is not at parity with modern platforms and lacks referral opportunities as part of its design as it is vendor based.
