About Jess

My foundation in landscape architecture honed my ability to design systems that are functional, aesthetic, and sustainable. I bring the same rigor, systemic thinking, and work ethic into UX. My anthropology background deepens my insight into human behavior and cultural context it guides me to build inclusive, empathetic experiences.

I thrive on handson collaboration with users and stakeholders whether that means iterating until our solutions reliably hit success metrics or sprinting design ideas to drive real impact. Environmental sustainability is central to my work: I design products that foster mindful living and positive change.

Currently, Im pursuing an M.S. in HumanComputer Interaction. Actively looking for full-time positions.

Jessica is an interdisciplinary UX designer, combining expertise from B2C eCommerce, AI + HCI, landscape architecture, sociocultural anthropology, and more.
