About Casandra Cain

Hi, I am Cas. Nice to meet you. I am a Nielsen Norman Group UX Master Certified (UXMC), Lead Product Designer with a background as a full-stack engineer and over 10+ years of experience. I have helped businesses generate over $20M in revenue by designing and shipping products on Bloomberg and NASDAQ for both web and native mobile applications in the past decade. I have an extensive track record of spearheading diverse projects for in-house and consulting roles, with a specialty in the finance and big data industries. I am adept at partnering with cross-functional stakeholders and engineers to establish comprehensive UX processes, leverage quantitative and qualitative user insights, and craft meticulous UI prototypes. I have been instrumental in driving innovation by infusing data-driven UX analytics into a compelling strategic vision and product roadmap, elevating internal platforms through transformative user experiences. I am self-driven and continuously learning; unfazed by complex problems, and passionate about developing alternative solutions. Finally, I understand the value of having a strong team.
