Hello, I’m Yinja, a UX designer who turns tangled high-stakes workflows into things people actually want to use. Currently designing at JPMorgan Private Bank.

AI is a thought partner, not a tool
I use Claude Code and Copilot to pressure-test strategy, synthesize research, and build working prototypes in days instead of sprints. Dev gets something real to react to, which kills a whole category of handoff ambiguity.
Share thinking, not just output
I share my process before it’s polished: methods, half-formed directions, the parts I’m unsure about. Early input from engineering, product, and stakeholders costs less than late alignment, and the work ends up belonging to everyone.
Influence up and across
I translate messy business problems into decisions leadership can actually make: here’s the risk, here are the options, here’s what I’d do. Design earns a seat by shaping what gets built, not by asking permission to build it.
