Chase x Essence Magazine

UX Collaboration

Art Direction

I collaborated on Currency Conversations, a JPMorgan Chase x Essence Magazine initiative designed to close the racial wealth gap by empowering Black women with financial tools, resources, and community. My role focused on developing the brand identity and creative assets that translated complex financial topics into approachable, culturally resonant visuals.


Overview

This work mattered because it wasn’t just design—it was about building trust, accessibility, and representation in a space where those elements are often missing. Seeing how the campaign sparked meaningful dialogue around financial health underscored the power of design to drive social impact.Challenge
