About Shirley Ko
Complexity doesn\'t scare me — it\'s where I do my best work. Over the past decade, I\'ve operated at the intersection of design, risk, and strategy — moving between titles like graphic designer, UX designer, executive content lead, and business manager. What connected all of it: translating messy, high-stakes information into something leaders could act on, fast. Today, as a Strategic Communications Designer at Gen II Fund Services, I work with client service and business development teams on the presentations that matter most — the ones that build trust, win mandates, and move capital. Outside of work, my husband and I run an off-grid and resilience-focused blog, where the same instinct applies: cutting through noise to help people make better decisions, whether in a boardroom or off the grid.I\'m drawn to work where design thinking meets strategic stakes. If that resonates, I\'d love to connect.
Experience
Strategic Communications Designer
Jul 2025 — Present · New York, NY, US
After six years navigating large institutional complexity at JPMorganChase, I made a deliberate move toward a smaller, more autonomous environment — one that gave me direct ownership over my craft while I continue building toward my own ventures.At Gen II, a leading private equity fund administrator, I partner with client service and business development teams on the presentations that matter most — the ones that build trust, win mandates, and move capital. Working in a leaner environment has sharpened my ability to work independently, move fast, and deliver high-stakes communications without the scaffolding of a large institution.
