About Jess
My foundation in landscape architecture honed my ability to design systems that are functionally aesthetic and sustainable. I bring the same rigor, systemic thinking, and work ethic into UX. My anthropology background, rooted in a strong curiosity in people - deepens my insight into human behavior and cultural context; it guides me to build inclusive, empathetic experiences.
I thrive on hands‑on collaboration with users and stakeholders, whether that means iterating until our solutions reliably hit success metrics or sprinting design ideas to drive real impact.
With a M.S. in Human–Computer Interaction, I currently welcome full-time opportunities.
