About —

Hi! I’m Janelle — a product designer currently based in NYC.

Deeply inquisitive by nature, I am passionate about integrating design & technology to move the world forward in the most creative and innovative ways possible. I approach design with a collaborative spirit, unwavering commitment to ethics and human-centeredness, and a drive to build meaningful (& fun!) product experiences.

While being fascinated with all aspects of UX design, I specialize in synthesizing insightful research, creative storytelling and visual design. I love diving into why and how people use things, and figuring out how we can innovate these experiences to make them special.

I hold a M.S in Integrated Design & Media, specializing in User Experience Design from New York University. I also hold a B.F.A in New Media from Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada.
