Miguel Ward, Product Designer & Strategic Product Thinker

I’ve spent the last few years designing fintech solutions, now I’m leaning into strategy, product and feature definition, and owning the responsibility to drive growth.

More Than Design: Perspective Shaped by Product Thinking

I’m a Caribbean-born product designer creating intuitive, inclusive, and impact-driven digital experiences, primarily within the fintech and public services industries. I’ve designed platforms used by thousands of users and helped financial institutions simplify complex flows, build trust, and drive measurable results.

Fintech design is my passion. I’m driven by the emotional connection humans have with money, emotions that can be empowering or overwhelming. I deeply empathize with these moments and advocate for product designs that feel personal, emotionally intelligent, and leave users with a more positive relationship with finance.

But lately, I've found myself drawn to more than design.

As I continue to work on mission-driven products, I’ve realized how much I enjoy defining the problem, shaping the solution, and thinking strategically about what we build and why. I'm exploring the intersection of product design and product strategy, using my design background as a foundation to grow into a more holistic, product-minded thinker.

Outside of work, I’m constantly pushing new ideas. I’m currently building Auditeee, an AI-powered design feedback tool. Based on community feedback, Auditeee is also evolving into a Caribbean-focused design community built to develop regional skills, create new opportunities, and connect designers across the diaspora.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me outdoors, running, lifting weights, or hiking to recharge.
