It’s my absolute pleasure to provide a recommendation for Jess. We worked together as part of the Life Sciences UX Team at Accenture Song. While her role was technically as a researcher, it was clear that she is so much more than that. She brought over a decade of experience in design and research to her work. She masterfully blends strategy, design thinking, and data-driven insights to create engaging and inclusive experiences.

On one project we collaborated on, I noted how effectively she communicated ideas to stakeholders, which positively affected team outcomes.

Jess is an excellent collaborator who not only brings solid ideas to the table, but also listens and incorporates feedback effectively. She’s super detail-oriented and doesn’t miss a beat! She’s an asset to any team she works with.

I had the pleasure of working with Jessica during my time at The Huntington Library, and she was a fantastic supervisor. Her attentiveness and enthusiasm to collaborate made every project enjoyable. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure the highest quality of work, all while creating a supportive and posting atmosphere. Jessica is truly a fantastic asset to any team!

Jessica has been a wonderful person to collaborate with in the year we worked together. She helped our team immensely by developing and implementing evaluation strategies for many of our museum programs. I particularly appreciate the care and attention with which she approaches each project, from helping to clarify program goals at the outset, to articulating outcomes clearly and effectively to wide audiences. Jessica will be a tremendous asset to any team she is a part of.

It was an absolute privilege to work alongside Jessica during her time at the Huntington. Her deep insights into evaluation, experience design, and strategy introduced a new and exciting sense of creativity and innovation to the work we do. At the Huntington, Jessica helped support the design and development of audience research through her efforts evaluating our public programs. She helped us bring a real intention and thoughtfulness into the ways in which we approached engaging our diverse audiences through Education. Jessica's work has been paramount into helping us better understand our impact and because of it, we have been able to effectively respond to the changing needs and curiosities of our visitors. Jessica is a highly professional, effective partner who would be a valuable asset for any organization lucky to have her. I would strongly recommend her for any position out there!

Strategic insight and user empathy are the phrases that come to mind when I think about Jess.

During our time working together on the Character Lab project at Exygy, Jess consistently demonstrated exceptional UX design skills, ensuring that every design decision was grounded in a deep understanding of user needs through data gathered in rigorous interviews. Their commitment to equity and accessibility was evident throughout their work, ensuring that the solutions we developed were both effective and inclusive.

Above all, I was impressed with Jess’s ability to seamlessly integrate strategic planning with execution. They have a unique talent for translating complex, high-level strategies into actionable plans that drive real results. Jess’s collaborative spirit and ability to elevate the entire team’s performance made working with them an absolute pleasure.

Jess would be a valuable asset for any position requiring expertise in UX and strategy, and I highly recommend them.

Jessica's background in user-experience design, evaluation, and deep appreciation of human-centered experiences gives her the perspective and skills needed to work across a wide range of activities. At The Huntington she stepped in to the evaluation manager role to support the development of audience research including exhibition and program evaluation and visitor exit surveys. Her attention to visitor needs in relation to museum experiences helped shape strategies for capturing important data on the use and design of exhibition spaces. She helped to expand data dashboards to describe over all and make important observations on data to inform better decision making. She's a strong team player, highly professional, and good communicator.

When digital mattered most, Jess stepped up. With the pandemic ramping up and our agency had just let go of our digital UX lead, Jess stepped in with grace and consideration. She helped us navigate the most difficult challenges from digtial conferences to websites and interactive apps. With Jess we found a partner who showed up, ready to make a difference from the first day.
