Noemi

Building a simpler way to have a professional presence online.

Netflix | Global Design System

Led the direction of Netflix's first global design and brand system across marketing and product from brief and partner selections to driving internal alignment and rollout.

Netflix | Personalized Content Discovery

As a product and design lead across content, product, and engineering, I scaled the artwork testing behind Originals discovery and ran the creative experiments that drove up to 20% more viewing. Later pushed into new content types like Live and local.

Vista | Global UX & Design

Built Vista’s global design team from scratch and led the UX side of the transformation of the international sites and SMB design tools, including vision assets that reframed Vistaprint from print vendor to small‑business creative partner.

Fintech | Mint.com & Wealthfront

At Mint.com I led a talented design and creative team through the redesign of Mint's core experiences. At Wealthfront, I was the first designer among the engineers and built their first design team.

KinoSaito | Advisory Board

An arts center in Verplanck, NY, honoring my mentor, painter Kikuo Saito, and nurturing abstract art in every form. Founded by his wife, Mikiko Ino. Worth the trip up the Hudson.
