JAMES LAVINE

When John Hancock Investments was acquired by Manulife a few years back, the team at Maark was tasked with bringing John Hancock in line with Manulife's global brand system. At the same time, we were building a scalable platform and tools that could be leveraged by both brands and in many regions. My role has been to lead our design team's vision for this platform. To date, over a dozen marketing sites now exist using this design system dubbed Common Core. Several of those sites include secure dashboards for users ranging from institutional investors to financial advisors to group retirement plan participants. In addition, the video here shows a preview of a few tools that we're excited to launch to users in the coming months... I lead design at Outseta and build Webflow sites on the side. When I'm not working, I might be surfing icy waters on the Maine coast or hanging with the people I love. When I am working, I'm usually trying to keep my cat off my keyboarslkfjd.
