About

Hi, I’m Jennifer. I’m a UX/UI designer and product strategist who loves turning complex ideas into simple, usable products. With 15+ years in visual design and production, I lead end-to-end experiences for consumer-facing apps—from user research and journey mapping to high-fidelity prototypes and micro-interactions.

My background in publishing, branding, and dog-sport training has sharpened my communication, stakeholder management, and empathy for diverse users. I thrive in cross-functional teams and enjoy turning feedback into practical, scalable design systems.
