about

Hey there! My name is Jess and I'm a UX Designer who loves to play in all facets of design. By day, I craft meaningful experiences for digital products. By night, I enjoy experimenting with typography, exploring mixed media painting & flirting with front-end development. If you're interested in working together, shoot me a message here.
