Lev Redesign

Lev is a commercial real estate platform that assists borrowers in crafting the right pitch and connecting with suitable lenders for their deals. I was brought in to create a more user-focused experience, establish design principles, and hire/mentor new designers. Additionally, I helped rebrand the company and spearheaded a design thinking culture.

A Borrower/Lender Marketplace

Lev was originally a tech forward white-glove brokerage. Within weeks of me joining the team, we pivoted into a self-service platform for borrowers to manage their deals, prepare materials, and connect with potential lenders.

Deal Room AI

Another challenge for borrowers is creating a deal room that encompasses their pitch project as well as selling their past to lenders. We created Dealroom AI, which takes a set of documents and creates a polished dealbook in under 10 minutes to help them put their best foot forward.

Since its the release, borrowers use deal room AI 90% vs creating one manually


Rebrand

As we pivoted to a consumer-focused product, we recognized the need for a more modern brand. Along with the executive team, we partnered with an agency to redefine what Lev means. I built a new design system from the ground up.

During the day, I try to improve user experiences as Factory Design by removing friction while simultaneously adding little sparks of joy. It's a never ending problem and I love it. Off hours I love watching others express themselves through their own unique creativity. Sometimes I try to catch it on camera.

Originally from California, I moved to Brooklyn where I'm averaging approximately 4.2 slices per week. If you want to chat about design, 90's music videos, smart lighting, or just want to meet my dog, feel free to ping me →
