I’m a product designer. I was recently at Capital One for 3+ years, where I worked on the Identity team in commercial banking and Zelle and money movement team in consumer banking. I’m currently searching for new opportunities. I initially majored in computer science in college because I was excited by the positive impact technology can have on people. In high school I had fun creating web design and development projects, like a web app called Pocket Therapy for users to enter their feelings and worries and see them disappear. I decided to pivot to product design when I discovered it in my sophomore year because I found I was most interested in how users interact with technology, the impact it has on them, and whether the technology they are using meets their needs. I’m a bit of a serial hobbyist, so it’s hard to say what my hobbies are at any given time, but lately you can find me gaming️, going on walks in the cold (and listening to podcasts and audiobooks), drawing, reading, and doing yoga. Feel free to email me at esh79@cornell.edu or check out my resume. https://www.erikahauschild.design/work daily 1.0 2026-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9dae409f62bf49d8449c3e/0a089fc1-609d-4ff6-9392-e1bc4c999968/Provisioning+flow.png Work - Reducing Drop-Off with a Smarter Virtual Card Provisioning Experience • Capital One • Dec. 2024 to Jun. 2025 Owned the iterative design and research of a patent-pending virtual card provisioning flow that launched in August 2025, simplifying a complex workflow and reducing drop-off by 87%, resulting in $140M annualized spend from 58K customers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9dae409f62bf49d8449c3e/8be883cd-9754-4af0-97ff-d2eaf1f6a5ff/Split+payment+thumbnail.png Work - Streamlining Bill Splits: Requesting from Multiple People at Once • Capital One • Jan. 2024 to Oct. 2024 Led design and research for a feature that now drives 30.5% of transactions across 3.6M users, shaping the experience from scoping through usability testing, iterative design, and developer handoff.
