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 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. Environmental sustainability is central to my work: I design products that foster mindful living and positive change.

Currently, I’m pursuing an M.S. in Human–Computer Interaction. I’m actively looking for internship opportunities and full-time positions in 2025 and beyond.
