About

The company

Plum helps people grow their wealth automatically. Originally focused on automated saving, the product evolved toward long-term investing.

My role

I collaborated across multiple squads to improve engagement with Plum’s investment products. My work included enhancing the Discover experience, introducing in-app education, contributing to the design system, and supporting the launch of Plum’s EU crypto offering.
