Jessica here!
๐ Vancouver, BC
I'm a Product Designer with a curious learning mindset, passion for cohesive user experiences, and background in English Literature and Creative Writing.
๐ Analyzing characters and stories led me to critique how I can optimize digital interfaces for everyone with the help of my storytelling skills.
๐ต Besides unwinding with matcha tea, I enjoy self‐reflecting, reading & dissecting stories, practicing yoga, and exploring non‐digital spaces.
mission
I aim to positively influence my teams, projects, and the environment by creating user‐friendly experiences to bridge the gap between businesses and end‐users.
