My name is Jess
I am a UX-focused Web Designer and Frontend Developer who builds high-performing, visually compelling digital experiences. I design and develop websites that don’t just look good, they’re built to engage users, communicate clearly, and drive results. My work sits at the intersection of design, development, and storytelling, allowing me to take projects from concept to fully realized experiences.
I’ve worked with Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs, adapting to different goals, constraints, and audiences while consistently delivering thoughtful, user-centered solutions.
With a background in Film Studies, Digital Art, and Full Stack Development, I bring a unique blend of visual storytelling and technical execution. Whether I’m refining a user flow, building a responsive interface, or shaping a brand’s digital presence, I focus on creating experiences that are both intuitive and impactful.
