Product Designer / Engineer
Hey there! I’m a product designer and engineer based in the DC metro area, specializing in design systems, front-end UI, and building thoughtful, scalable digital experiences. I’ve worked across corporations, government agencies, nonprofits, and startups, partnering closely with engineering and product teams to turn complex problems into clear, well-crafted solutions. I’m a self-starter who enjoys learning, adapting, and evolving alongside the tools and technologies that shape how we build.

UI / UX Design
I design clear, usable, and well-crafted interfaces for complex products. My work spans early exploration through high-fidelity execution, with a strong focus on interaction design, accessibility, and visual clarity. I collaborate closely with product managers and engineers to translate ideas into experiences that are intuitive, scalable, and ready for production.
My background as a designer shapes how I approach every problem—balancing user needs, system constraints, and business goals to create work that’s both thoughtful and practical.
I have lots of experience with: Figma; Adobe Creative Suite; HTML/CSS; React; TypeScript; Storybook; Git; VS Code; Cursor; Claude; MCP; WordPress; Responsive Design; and Accessibility

Accessibility and Experience Design
I believe websites should be inclusive so users who require assistive technology can consume the content. I’ve studied best practices for accessibility in UI design and strive to be mindful of WCAG requirements when building web interfaces.
I’m trained in Experience Design, which is a practice that uses people-centered insights and behavioral science to design comprehensive experiences with users, clients and coworkers. This training helps me build UX personas and ideate a user’s journey from start, to finish, and beyond.

Custom WordPress Themes
I design and build custom WordPress websites that balance strong visual design with clean, maintainable implementation. I can either lead the end-to-end design and development process or collaborate with graphic designers to translate their concepts into fully functional, responsive websites.
Whether I’m designing the experience myself or implementing an existing visual direction, I focus on usability, accessibility, and flexibility. Clients receive a custom site that looks polished and can be easily updated without ongoing developer support.

Print Design
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design and worked as a print designer for several years before transitioning to web and application design. I am skilled in typography and layout design.

Webmaster Services
I can help clients install WordPress on their servers as well as pre-purchased themes. I can install any additional plugins that are required and customize the look of the WordPress site as permitted by the theme, i.e. replacing the logo, photos, and colors.
I can also procure the web host and domain name, if needed. I sometimes help clients make changes to their WordPress sites if they don’t have the resources to do it themselves.

About Jenn

I love animals and firmly believe that all dogs are good boys. I like movies, video games, and traveling. I love experiencing adventure and different cultures.
