I’m Jillian—a California-based designer and team leader with over 15 years of experience crafting thoughtful, tech-driven solutions. I’m endlessly curious and love digging into complex problems. I believe the best designs often go unnoticed—the ones that just work, intuitively and simply, without friction or redundancy.

I’m deeply collaborative and thrive when working shoulder-to-shoulder or in the zoom room with cross-functional partners.
I build strong, trust-based relationships with both customers and peers to keep design grounded in user needs and aligned with real business goals. Throughout my career I’ve scaled and led a global team, redesigned core product lines and championed cultures of feedback, growth, and experimentation.

I work hard, sometimes too hard, but I’m learning to find better balance. Beyond work, I’m not big on media—I'd rather be outdoors moving my body or connecting with my people in person. I'm a lifelong learner, leaning into courses, podcasts, books and hands-on exploration—especially as it relates to experimentation with AI. At home, I share space with two beasts: my moto-enthusiast husband and our one-eyed black lab.
