From wireframes to web development - helping bring amazing user experiences to life.

Hi, I'm Jes.

I’m a User Experience Designer and Full-stack Developer. With over 11 years of experience as a User Experience Designer, I wanted to expand my skillset and put my UX expertise into practice as a developer.

After dabbling in code for years, I recently went through a Full-Stack Web Development Program for a more structured learning environment.

I love being able to take a holistic approach of creating the user experience for a website or app, and then bringing that experience to life through coding.

When I’m not working on web things, I’m busy planning my next travel adventure or letting my French Bulldog, Zed, take me for walks.

Mobile App UX

Prototypes

I was asked by Matter Supply Co to help update a mobile app that assists users in preparing for an emergency situation for a client.

I managed the UX and worked with Product Design and Development to incorporate new features into the app, as well as to create a better user experience.

After creating an updated site map for the site, I worked with the team to understand how people were using the current site.

I then designed updated wireframes in Sketch to incorporate the updates and develop a better user flow through the app.

Throughout the process, we worked with the client to ensure the changes would be the most beneficial for the user.

I created a prototype using InVision that helped with obtaining client approval, as well as ensuring the updated flow was a coherent and upgraded experience.

Client feedback was very positive and the app updates are currently in production.
