Complex workflows. Voluminous data. Sophisticated users. Lightning speed. That’s the world of a Bloomberg designer.
I’ve worked on dozens of Bloomberg projects over the years, both on the Bloomberg Terminal and on web-based Enterprise Products. I’ve also been deeply involved in our Standards and Consistency effort, which has grown from a tiny team to a fully defined business process supported by over a dozen specialists.
My projects at Bloomberg have spanned three main areas:
-
Bloomberg Vault
ENTERPRISE COMPLIANCE SUITE
Bloomberg’s compliance offering includes a broad array of separate tools for supervision and surveillance, investigation, reporting, and archiving.
As the lead designer in this area, I worked to transform Vault into an integrated, intuitive interface designed expressly around our customers’ workflows.
-
Internal Systems
CRM, SALES, DATA ADMIN, TICKETING
The Bloomberg Terminal isn’t just a product - it’s the beating heart of the company. Over the years I’ve helped improve a number of homegrown, Terminal-based systems.
These systems are well engineered and highly performant, but not necessarily built with real users in mind. In UX, we set out to change that.

Terminal Framework
STANDARDS AND CONSISTENCY
The Bloomberg Terminal is made up of thousands of “functions,” or financial applications. This breadth, plus an obsession with rapid innovation, inevitably risks a bit of chaos.
From the beginning, I have played a key role in the documentation and process design around standards and consistency. I’ve also analyzed, tested, and defined standards for many of the Terminal’s interaction and design patterns.
