Product
designer
I design products and build the prototypes to prove them. Ten years across fintech, healthcare, and retail, working side by side with engineers
what I can do for you
As a digital designer, I am a visual storyteller, crafting experiences that connect deeply and spark creativity.
1. Functional Prototyping
Real applications built for user testing, not clickable mockups
Claude, Gemini, and Cursor directed through the full build
Agentic workflows built into the product lifecycle
A documented practice, not a pile of one-off experiments
2. Design Systems
Variable structures and token architecture
Component libraries with full state and variant coverage
Translate design system intent into machine-readable context agents actually follow
Owned an enterprise email design system end to end
3. Design to Development
Specs written for how engineers actually build
Design validation through implementation and QA
Working knowledge of React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript
Ten years embedded with engineering teams, not throwing files over a wall
4. UX & PRODUCT DESIGN
End-to-end flows for web and mobile products
Dashboards, data tools, and internal platforms
Led a 14-month ML project at Capital One — 40% faster associate onboarding
NN/g certified. User interviews, usability testing, synthesis to design decisions

About me
I'm Jerry, but most people call me Jay. I'm a product designer who has spent ten years working inside engineering teams at Capital One, Best Buy, and Juva Health. I build design systems and working prototypes that make handoff a conversation instead of a file drop

Featured Projects
These selected projects reflect my passion for blending strategy with creativity — solving real problems through thoughtful design and impactful storytelling.
UX / Product Design
Juva Health Redesign
Juva treats migraine through biofeedback therapy. Using their iPhone camera, patients run guided sessions in the app, track symptoms, and build a practice over time, on their own or alongside a doctor.
IN THEIR WORDS
Recommendations from designers and engineers I've worked with, shared on LinkedIn.
He built an impressive component library that not only streamlined the design process but also incorporated design tokens..

Jerry would organize meetings between me and other developers to learn from one another. I was always impressed when Jerry would ask great questions that I didn't think to ask

Jerry is very easy to work with. He always has great ideas to improve user experience and not hesitant to share his opinion if something does not seem right. He’s very humble in his approach towards work.
