About

Bebe Barberson

I’m a senior product designer based in Chicago with 10+ years of experience across fintech, e-commerce, media, aviation, and consumer products. I do my best work on ambiguous problems that need structure, nuance, and systems thinking.

I lead design across Aeropay’s fintech product suite, including B2B tools, consumer experiences, Aerosync, its proprietary bank-linking product, and the design system that connects them.

I think of design as a product’s body language. People feel it, even when they don’t consciously notice it. Small choices in structure, pacing, language, and flow shape whether an experience feels clear, trustworthy, or confusing. I believe the strongest products emerge when design, product, and engineering shape the solution together.

Earlier in my career, I worked with companies like Boeing, Target, iHeartMedia, and NBC. Moving across industries taught me how to quickly understand new business contexts and bring clarity to unfamiliar problems.

Outside of design, I’m usually printmaking, planning my next trip, learning something new, or tending to my plant family.
