UX Design by Rebecca LeVine
Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management
In March 2025, I moved onto Private Wealth Management (PWM) at Goldman Sachs, part of the firm’s Asset and Wealth Management (AWM) division. PWM serves institutional and high net worth individual investors, with web and native mobile applications that help users manage their portfolios, transfer money, monitor the markets, and more. Like Marquee, AWM was in the process of adopting the firm-wide OneGS design system, and required business-specific design libraries for web and mobile.
WORK OVERVIEW
Business-specific iOS and desktop design libraries.
At Private Wealth Management, I owned the web and iOS Figma libraries and their documentation. When I joined PWM in early 2025, the firm was in the process of adopting the OneGS design system; drawing on my Marquee experience, I built complex components from OneGS atoms, ranging from custom Select variants to intricate grids and charts. The most challenging and rewarding component was the Account Picker: a flexible, reusable component used across the PWM website and mobile app, which required considerable iteration and multiple rounds of usability testing.

Visual Quality Assurance & developer collaboration.
Once developers have taken a first pass at building components/screens, I review them in a QA environment, testing both functionality and appearance: layout, spacing, typography, animation, and more, all at mobile, tablet, and web breakpoints. I then communicate any and all issues to the appropriate developer team. To expedite this otherwise time-consuming process, I developed a series of best practices for more efficient developer communication, beginning with improved Figma annotation and pre-handoff checklists.
Firm-wide & Executive Office contributions.
Working closely with the Executive Office (EO) design team, i.e. the group of designers responsible for the dissemination and maintenance of the core OneGS design system, my team was able not only to build business-specific components from OneGS atoms, but also contribute certain components back into the core OneGS design system. Once our PWM-specific components had been absorbed into OneGS, they could be taken up and reused by other divisions within the firm—leading to a more consistent experience for clients across divisions and less redundant work for designers. (No need for multiple teams to build a side drawer, for instance, when PWM's could be applied on Marquee and beyond.) I was also part of an EO-led working group where I stress-tested and provided deep feedback on the new, Liquid Glass-aligned mobile component variants produced by EO.
