Education Layer

Making complex financial presentations easier to understand

CapIntel helped financial advisors create sophisticated, data-rich investment presentations. But we knew far less about the experience of the investor on the other side of them.

I led research into the investor experience, uncovering how financial jargon and complex concepts created moments of silent confusion. Those insights shaped the Education Layer, a contextual learning system that gave investors clarity without disrupting the advisor-client conversation.
