I’m Jina, a UX Design Lead with 15+ years of experience creating user-friendly solutions for web and mobile.
I’ve worked across enterprise, agency, and startup environments, turning complex workflows into intuitive experiences with a blend of creativity, strategy, and precision.
Outside of work, you’ll find me traveling, oil painting, or spending time with family and friends. Those personal moments keep me inspired and often spark new ideas in my design work.
Curious to learn more? I’d love to share the stories behind the projects.

“Jina is an extremely creative and talented designer. I’ve always admired that she first asked critical contextual and problem space questions before providing feedback. She created UX Office Hours, which became a model for other teams, and her journey map format was adopted across UX and shared with leadership. She is approachable, thoughtful, and a joy to be around.”

“In a word Jina is exceptional. I had the pleasure of working with Jina while we were completely upgrading the user experience of our network management platform. In addition to creating a market-leading experience for our customers Jina also had to work very closely with Development and Product Management who, initially, were both quite skeptical of the impact and ability to deliver. Within a short time Jina and her team completely turned things around and created a "mind blowing" experience. In short she is tireless, energetic, creative and completely professional. She's fantastic.”
