About Paris Ward

Senior Content Designer at Mastercard

Hi! Nice to meet you. I'm a recovering journalist and content marketer with more than a decade of experience finessing "the words" across marketing and product experiences, including chatbots. These days I'm focused on solving interesting user challenges in the financial services industry.

I'm passionate about giving back to the community that has been so supportive in my own career pivot. In addition, I hope to serve as an advocate and ally for all things DEI and share my own experiences as a neurodivergent employee in tech in order to help others who may feel like misfits or be questioning how to be a 'culture add' instead of 'culture fit.'

Let's chat!
