I’m a product designer with a foundation in classical graphic design and more than 15 years of experience creating digital experiences across healthcare, education, nonprofits, museums, and storytelling platforms.
I studied graphic design at Virginia Commonwealth University, where I became interested in how typography, hierarchy, and composition shape clarity, usability, and human behavior within digital experiences. What first drew me to design still drives me today: the balance between beauty and utility.
Over the course of my career, I’ve launched 40+ websites and digital products, facilitated workshops, led stakeholder alignment sessions, conducted user research, and collaborated closely with developers to bring complex ideas to life. Visual craft is one part of how I solve product problems, alongside systems thinking, accessibility, research, and cross-functional collaboration.
I’m especially interested in responsive systems, design systems, immersive storytelling, accessibility, and helping teams navigate complex design decisions by framing tradeoffs, comparing approaches, and grounding conversations in research. Whether designing a dashboard, a museum experience, or a mobile interaction, I believe the fundamentals remain the same: hierarchy, readability, pacing, emotion, and creating experiences that help people achieve their goals with clarity and confidence.
Outside of design, a lot of my creative energy comes from public speaking, motion, illustration, stand-up comedy, and constantly exploring new creative disciplines. More than 15 years into my career, I’m still just as excited about design as I was during my first semester of design classes in college. Follow me on Instagram @Jamiedoescomedy.
