FINRA - Associate Director of UX

"It has been a privilege to manage Ricky as a Product Designer for FINRA. From the beginning Ricky demonstrated his exceptional leadership skills. He partners well with stakeholder, product managers, engineers, and business partners with his transparent and friendly demeanor. He supports a positive design community and goes above and beyond to help better the organization and advocate for UX.


Ricky is a thoughtful mentor, a gifted designer, and an inspiring leader. Ricky’s enthusiasm is contagious, many positive workplace initiatives were initiated or inspired by him including our meditation practice and low-fi working sessions that combat isolation, boost morale and support for team members.

Ricky is a talented professional and would be an invaluable asset to any organization. I would gladly work with Ricky again"
