I’m Jeanelle, a senior product designer focused on thoughtful digital products and interactive experiences.

I've spent the last 20+ years working across product, brand, and interactive design, including a decade at Tinybop creating playful, award-winning apps for kids and families.

I like making things that are fun to use, easy to understand, and have a dash of personality. A lot of my work involves taking something complex or abstract and turning it into something someone can see, touch, and play with.

Over the years, I've worked on apps, games, websites, brands, community art shows, and plenty of things in between. One of my favorite parts of the process is figuring out how something should work, then bringing it to life through the interface, interactions, visual language, and all the little details.

I've spent a large part of my career designing for kids, and play has shaped the way I think about design in general. It's taught me to trust curiosity, leave room for discovery, and make experiences that people understand by exploring rather than needing everything explained.

I like being close to the work—from the early ideas through the final details. I enjoy collaborating with good people, getting into the weeds, and refining something until it finally feels right.
