Hi, I'm Jenna!

I hail from Ontario, Canada but am currently living and working in San Francisco as a Senior Product Designer.

In my early career as a designer, my rich background in sales and marketing taught me to skillfully communicate and problem solve to deliver an outstanding product that is holistic to both business and users needs. As I continue in my career, I am interested in investigating the intricacies of the human condition through design and creating products that bring delight to users.

When I'm not designing or working on personal projects, I can be found in my hammock reading, brushing up on my photography skills or off traveling. Growing up I didn't have the opportunity to travel much, so as an adult I try to explore new countries and experience foreign cultures as often as I can.

Since I departed on my first solo backpacking trip in 2018, I have travelled to 33 countries! Today, I continue to explore and am constantly seeking new ways to approach my work, gain perspective and think outside of the box.

Some writing about what I do and traveling being my life lol

Where I've been recently

I spent 4 months exploring Argentina and popping into surrounding countries for weekend visits. Thankfully the Argentinians I met were very patient with my broken Spanish as I continue to learn and practice in my free time. For anyone that has learnt another language later on in life, you understand how humbling the experience can be.

By a beautiful stroke of luck, my trip began during the World Cup Quarter Finals and as a first class bandwagonner, the weeks to follow were nothing short of incredible. The energy in Buenos Aires was palpable, anyone I spoke to would tell me how much the win would mean for them and their country. Now, months out from the historic win, and the final game is still played on bar tvs around the city!
