Principal Product Designer, AI + Design Systems

Daniella Marooney

I lead design for two AI products built for financial advisors.

12 years designing complex, regulated software in fintech, cybersecurity, policy, and healthcare.

People don’t want another AI app. Their companies already approved Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. I design the hub that sits on top: one place to work with those tools, with each industry’s compliance rules built in.

I use AI the same way in my own process. I build skills and agents that check every design against our components, patterns, and acceptance criteria, so quality holds as we move faster.

Hi, I'm Daniella.

I design complex products, paint (usually elephants), and look for better ways for people and technology to work together.
