    Hi, I'm Jenny. I've been designing user interfaces and experiences for about 15 years. I began my career in motion graphics and animation, but quickly transitioned to designing web applications. While the majority of my career has been focused on eCommerce solutions, I've recently been working in the healthcare space creating solutions that help hospitals become more efficient and profitable.

    My passion is talking with users to understand their motivations: how they think, what's important to them, and what they are trying to do. I apply this knowledge to my designs in order to create the best possible experience for the user. My goal is to design products that are useful, simple and delightful.

    My specialties include: user research & usability testing, concept design, UXD/information architecture & detailed design, and art direction.
