Lead Creative Designer (Lead UX/UI)
Lifeworks Advisors is a modern independent registered investment advisor (RIA) and technology firm that is solving the biggest challenges advisors face today. We are backed by one of the wealth management industry’s most successful and well-known executives, Marty Bicknell, and his team of industry leaders.
What We Are Building
Our team sits at the intersection of one of the oldest and most outdated industries (Wealth Management) and the future of financial technology (FinTech). We are pushing the boundaries of wealth management, disrupting outdated business models, and delivering personalized solutions to clients and advisors through our modern software platform.
We are building a digital ecosystem on a common data model that connects a seamless and intuitive client experience across all segments of the wealth management process with the back office operations of clearing, custody, compliance, and account management.
Our software leverages machine learning, natural language processing, and native cloud technology to solve many of the biggest challenges advisors and clients face today in the wealth management space.
We are delivering The Future of Advice(TM), today.

Smart. Strategic. Disciplined. Courageous. Never Quit.
Those are the core values that unite our team.
We are a diverse multi-generational team of financial advisors, futures & options traders, institutional money managers, technology nerds, and creative storytellers.
