Hey, I'm Ed, a product designer at

Coinbase

based in

San Diego

The last six years have been in fintech and crypto: financial advisor tooling at Northwestern Mutual, staking and transfers at Gemini, and now money movement at Coinbase. I break complex problems down into simple solutions. But real simplicity isn't about less. It's about unified systems that reveal complexity gradually, simple enough for a beginner and powerful enough for an expert.

The last six years have been spent in fintech and crypto: financial advisor tooling at Northwestern Mutual, staking and transfers at Gemini, and now money movement at Coinbase. The work I find most rewarding starts in ambiguity. A screen with too many decisions. A concept that only makes sense to insiders. A flow that grew bespoke across teams. The job is usually to find the mental model users actually have and then strip everything else away. The best version is the one that feels obvious in hindsight.

2025 — NOW

Product Designer

Coinbase

Coinbase was evolving from a place to trade into a place to manage money. On the Cash team, I connected deposits, Direct Deposit, earnings, and cash balances into a more cohesive experience for how money enters, grows, and lives on the platform.

Cash Transfers

Simplifying how cash moves through Coinbase.

Direct Deposit

"Get paid in crypto" with Coinbase Direct Deposit.

I helped lead the shift from Gemini Earn to onchain staking, launching experiences for both retail and institutional customers. I later designed a universal transfer system for crypto and fiat, simplifying how assets move onto Gemini while creating a pattern that could scale across the platform.

Staking

Launching retail and institutional staking.

Crypto Transfers

Simplifying how crypto is sent and received.
