My Story

I'm Jess, thank you for visiting my portfolio! I curate my work here as I progress as a designer and developer. My journey began during my honours bachelor’s degree in physics and astronomy. While doing research on ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, I realized that I wanted to work towards something that would allow me to produce more tangible results and solutions for the complex problems that affect people everyday. That's when I pursued the dynamic intersection of UX design, game research and programming.

I then achieved a certification in UX design, and I am currently completing my Master of Design where I am working on a thesis project that involves the use of machine learning and critical design to combat harassment in video games. I am a problem-solver, critical-thinker, and I focus on consistently achieving growth.
