Product Designer — Northbank Studio

Dear Hiring Manager,

I've spent six years designing the parts of software people use when they're in a hurry — checkout flows, booking screens, the forms nobody wants to fill in twice. Northbank's work on the transit app is the clearest example I've seen of that done well.

At Meridian I rebuilt an onboarding flow that four in ten people abandoned. It now finishes at eighty-one per cent, and the research behind it is still what the team reaches for.

I'd welcome the chance to talk it through.

Sincerely,

Dana Okoro

What defines this design

Serif typeface
Name, title and contacts stacked
White paper

Every one of these is a setting, not a constraint — accent colour, typeface, size, spacing and page margins stay yours under Customize, and switching design later re-renders what you’ve written rather than starting it over.

When to send Rubric

Rubric is set in a serif, which still reads as the default voice of formal correspondence — law, academia, government, publishing, medicine. It is the safe choice in the places where being the safe choice is the point.

Whatever you pick, the letter is read for what it says. A design buys you the half-second before that starts — it cannot buy the paragraph after it. If you are undecided, take Classic and spend the time on the opening sentence instead.
