About Christopher Andrews

I operate at the intersection of product design, engineering, and business strategy — not as a passenger, but as an architect. I define roadmaps, build AI-powered workflows, and design the systems that scale. Whether the deliverable is a Figma component system, a C-suite dashboard, or an AI workflow that eliminates a manual bottleneck, I bring the same discipline: understand the system, identify the constraint, and ship the solution.Selected Business ImpactPlatformKey OutcomeRevenue / Efficiency ImpactPNC BankWealth Management Infrastructure$859M Annual Revenue Growth BankrateConsumer Marketplace UX$180M Growth / 57% Conversion Lift AmexAcquisition Funnel Optimization$18M Quarterly Cost Savings CitiAtomic Design System40% Dev-Efficiency GainThe AI \"Force Multiplier\"I am IBM-certified in Generative AI, Prompt Engineering, and Product Management — and I am currently deployed in an AI-native stack.* Production Stack: fal.ai, ComfyUI, Krea, Midjourney, Claude, and Firefly.* Velocity: I’ve applied this stack at Meta Creative to increase project velocity by 40%, moving from idea to production in weeks, not quarters.My Philosophy: If AI can compress a 3-month initiative into 3 weeks, the only question is whether you have someone who knows how to use it. I do.

Experience

1. Lead Ux Designer

   PNC

   May 2023 — Present · Pittsburgh, PA, US

   Challenge: PNC\'s Wealth Management platform was fragmented across 12+ legacy data streams, creating a high-friction, low-trust experience for advisors and high-net-worth users — and leaving significant revenue on the table.Action: Led end-to-end product design and technical roadmap definition for the platform redesign — partnering with engineers, data scientists, compliance, and C-suite stakeholders to define OKRs, scope EPICs, and deliver a unified high-fidelity operational dashboard with full WCAG compliance, developer-annotated Figma systems, and mobile-first interaction architecture.Result: Contributed to $859M in annual revenue growth (~4% YoY) and a 30% increase in mobile-first account funding completion. Delivered a production-grade Figma design system that accelerated engineering implementation and reduced QA cycles — turning a fragmented legacy infrastructure into a competitive platform advantage.
