Hi, Jessica here!

📍 Vancouver, BC

I'm a Product Designer with a curious learning mindset, passion for UX, and background in English Literature and Creative Writing.

📚 Analyzing characters and stories led me to critique how I can optimize digital interfaces for everyone with the help of my storytelling skills.

🍵 Besides unwinding with matcha tea, I enjoy self‐reflecting, reading & dissecting stories, practicing yoga, and exploring non‐digital spaces.
