Hi, I'm Jen.

Human factors engineer turned product designer — aviation to legal tech to healthcare. My conviction has stayed the same: tools should adapt to humans, not the other way around.

Human Factors Foundation

Formal training in human factors engineering — applied across aviation safety, FDA medical device usability, and complex enterprise software. Design decisions grounded in how people actually perceive, decide, and act under real conditions.

Research Depth

Qualitative and quantitative methods applied together — JTBD interviews, eye tracking, readability metrics, LIWC tone analysis. Research isn't a phase; it's a design material.

AI Fluency

Hands-on experience in machine learning and generative AI — not as a buzzword, but as tools for doing better design work. Embedded research grounding in AI collaboration, not general-purpose prompting.

Specialization

I have a broad range of knowledge and skills across UX product design and research. I boost my work using a variety of AI tools and approaches, which lets me focus on the more strategic and creative aspects of my work.
