Well, hi!

I’m Jess (she/her), a product designer from New York now based in the Columbia River Gorge outside of Portland, OR. My design process is best characterized by just enough research paired with strong cross-functional collaboration to make the mundane, magical. I'm currently a Senior Product Designer at DataGrail where I help brands reduce risk and build trust through automated compliance.

Before my professional era, I got both my B.A. in History and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Master of HCI degrees at Carnegie Mellon University — my heart will always be in the work. As a lifelong learner, I believe in the value of sharing my experiences to help others grow.

Serious business aside, I love a good home-cooked meal, Doge Princess Kaya, and pretending to farm.

Hit me up anytime, don’t be shy 💖
