About me

Hey! I'm Jesse, a product designer with 13+ years of experience. Most recently I spent four years at Microsoft designing AI enterprise security features across Microsoft Defender and Sentinel. Before that, I worked on solving design problems at some really cool places: Animoto, EA, Xbox Game Studios, and The Seattle Times.

I love the challenge of simplifying complex tools and workflows and my preferred process follows the "double diamond" approach shown below. I own work end to end: strategy, research, design, and prototyping with live code through AI pair-programming AKA vibe-coding.

Outside of work, I like to make music (ask me about my steel drum band!), tend to my honeybees and sprawling vegetable garden with my family, and hike in our beautiful Pacific Northwest.
