I’m Rico — a designer with over 15 years of experience leading end-to-end product design initiatives for financial institutions across the UK, Europe, and Africa.

Most recently, I’ve worked on crypto and securities trading, brand development, and onboarding at AMINA Bank.

Previously, I contributed to design systems at J.P. Morgan and mobile banking at Metro Bank.

Before moving into fintech, I built brand and marketing campaigns for Nike, Mini Cooper, and Huawei, and I’ve also mentored junior designers and tutored aspiring professionals through CareerFoundry.

I believe that even in highly regulated environments, brand and personality are powerful differentiators — visuals and tone are inseparable parts of a great financial experience.
