My role

I was the first product designer employed by Wagestream and worked in a small product team of 6 (myself, 2 product managers, 2 developers, and a Head of Product). During my year at Wagestream, the primary focus of the product team was to expand upon the core feature set to increase adoption, engagement and revenue of the app.

We worked closely to rapidly hypothesise, test, iterate and launch new features and improvements including, but not limited to tracking earnings, managing shifts, debt support, and providing financial coaching and resources to those looking for support.
