About Van Shaw

With over 17 years of experience designing user-centered digital products across fintech, education, and e-commerce sectors, I bring a strong foundation in product, interaction, and visual design along with a deep passion for creating thoughtful, accessible, and measurable user experiences. Throughout my career, I’ve partnered closely with engineers, product managers, and stakeholders to build impactful B2B and B2C solutions across web and mobile platforms. At TVO, I led end-to-end design for high-profile initiatives such as TVO Today, the TVO app, TVOkids, and podcast/event experiences. I also contributed to educational SAAS tools that help children engage in learning. My responsibilities spanned developing scalable design systems, conducting user research, and translating insights into clean, intuitive interfaces. At OANDA, I led the design of native mobile apps (iOS/Android), SDKs, and white-label fintech solutions navigating complex regulatory environments while ensuring clarity, consistency, and usability across platforms. My background also includes packaging and marketing design in the e-commerce space, which has helped me create seamless brand experiences that bridge physical and digital interactions.
