Hello stranger,
I'm Jess, a designer/developer
who's worried about technology.

Right now, I'm exploring how board games can create change in communities vulnerable to wildfire.

Working under Thomas Maiorana (UC Davis Design) on a low-tech high-design climate change intervention.

I’d like to think that I’m a person of principles and integrity, as well as a sweetheart.

I’ve also stressed myself out doing UI/UX sprints with Davis Design Interactive.

Outside of work, I'm a bad houseplant mother,

With philia,
Jess
