Hi, I’m Jes!

I’m a UX/UI Designer based in the Pacific Northwest with a background that blends product design, digital marketing, and visual storytelling. After several years working in social media and digital marketing, I transitioned into UX/UI design and have since spent the past few years designing and launching digital products and experiences. My work has included everything from new features and complex B2B SaaS modules to complete website designs and customer onboarding experiences.

That range of experience has taught me that good design lives at the intersection of user needs and business goals. I enjoy digging into complex problems, understanding how people interact with a product, and turning those insights into experiences that feel intuitive and purposeful. I bring strong communication, attention to detail, and a visual perspective to every project, with a particular interest in making complicated things feel simple.

My BFA in Fine Art continues to be a meaningful part of how I approach design. I’m a painter, sculptor, and graphic designer, and creating has always been a fundamental part of who I am. My artwork is a celebration of the places I’ve explored and the natural world I’ve come to appreciate along the way. Growing up in Northern California, I spent much of my time outdoors and developed an affinity for nature at an early age. My dad fostered that curiosity in me and my brother, teaching us to explore, conserve, and pay attention to the world around us. That sense of curiosity and appreciation still influences how I see and create things today.

I completed General Assembly’s UX/UI Design program in Spring 2023, building on my creative background with a foundation in user research, interaction design, prototyping, and usability. Since then, working as a UX/UI designer has given me the opportunity to put those skills into practice, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and see designs through from early concepts to launched products. I’m always looking for the next interesting problem to solve, the next thing to learn, and another opportunity to make something a little better than I found it.
