Marion Gajonera is a lead product designer at JPMorgan Chase in NYC.

About me

I’m a product designer and former UX researcher with experience leading 0-to-1 products, enterprise software, and cybersecurity applications. 

My background in art history and curatorial research has equipped me with strong research and analytical skills, allowing me to conduct design research and synthesize complex information. I leverage my training in aesthetics, design principles, and visual storytelling—from user journeys to prototypes—to solve problems that align user needs, product vision, and business goals. I also lead workshops to foster cross-functional strategic decision-making.

Outside of work, I focus on continuous learning, exploring design theory, drawing, staying active with Peloton, and studying Spanish.
