A little about myself

Hi, I’m Jessica! 👋

When I’m not thinking about user flows or pixel spacing, you’ll probably find me reading the latest BookTok recommendation, tackling a DIY project, getting in a workout, or spending time with my family and pets. Tacos are my love language, and iced coffee is my creative fuel.

I’m a big believer in lifelong learning and the magic that happens when teams work collaboratively. I love connecting the dots between what people need and how we can make their experience better. I strive to design with curiosity, empathy, and a bit of fun along the way.
