i am syl,

Most recently, I designed financial experiences at Baubap that helped users navigate moments of financial stress. Before that, I worked at Fintual, where I helped make investing more approachable for first-time investors.

I enjoy learning from people, navigating ambiguity with my team, and building products that help people move one step closer to their goals.

Baubap project 1

Optimizing payment extensions

The main goal was to align extension options with real user cashflow and improve the activation experience.

Simplified UX

Created a seamless, 2-step activation flow.

Clear Pricing

Redesigned the UI to prioritize transparent costs and match new branding.

Data-Driven Features

Introduced shorter extension periods based on user payment behavior research.

Loss rate: -15.5%

By matching product options to real-world financial realities.

Fintual project 2

USD investment account

Launch a new dollar-based investment product to help users protect their capital against global economic volatility.

Waitlist Strategy

Designed a pre-launch waitlist to measure user interest and define the core value proposition.

System Integration

Seamlessly integrated the new account flow into the existing app experience.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partnered closely with engineering and product teams to ensure a cohesive rollout.

Baubap project 3

Early payments

Empower users to better manage loan obligations by breaking them into smaller, more manageable installments.

Behavioral Design

Leveraged research showing users proactively set aside money for debt to build a structured, self-service repayment flow.

Flexible Scheduling

Designed options for weekly or fortnightly early payments to match diverse income cycles.

Early Payment Adoption: +3.01%

By replacing manual collections with a transparent, self-service repayment flow (reaching a 6.1% weekly peak).

Three phone screens on a light purple background showing the Baubap early payments flow: an intro screen with a sun illustration and the headline 'Activá tu Abono Temprano' above an 'Elegir mi plan' button; a plan selection screen offering a $1,250 weekly or $2,500 biweekly repayment plan with a first-payment date; and a schedule screen listing four upcoming payments of $1,250 each with a 'Elegir fecha' button.
