Application — Director of Product Design

Dear Ms. Fournier,

I have followed Aurelia's work for years, and the way your team treats craft as strategy is rare. I would like to bring that same standard to your product organisation.

At Meridian Capital I rebuilt a wealth platform used by 200,000 clients, growing the design team from four to nineteen without diluting quality. I care about the details most people never notice, because those details are what make a product feel expensive.

I would welcome the chance to talk about where Aurelia is heading and how I can help you get there.

With warm regards,

Adrienne Vale
