Hi, I'm Jessica!
I'm a UX Researcher and problem-solver who translates cosmic curiosity into user-centered design.
My Background in Planetary Science allows me to explore user experiences with the same analytical rigor I once applied to planetary research.

Walmart Pharmacy Software Redesign
Walmart Pharmacy Software Redesign
**Work in progress!!**
While Walmart has wonderfully designed apps for customers and employees alike, the software used in Walmart Pharmacy by pharmacists and technicians lacks that same user-friendliness. This is my own redesign of the app addressing common problems.

During a two year internship at NASA Goddard, I performed lab experiments and developed a python code to visualize the data we collected. I also presented this preliminary data at the 2021 AGU conference during a poster session.

It's important to note that this process isn't linear. Each project presents its own unique challenges and so I approach them from an adaptive mindset, doing whatever research, designing, testing, etc. as needed in order to create the best design/solutions for the users!
