Hey, I’m Jacob (or Jake). a UX designer with 5 years of experience in interaction design, user research, and product strategy, previously at Ford Motor Company and currently working on freelance projects until I find my next role. In my time at Ford, I worked on projects related to launching B2B and B2C start-ups within an agile framework. I collaborated with outside business partners in the health and transportation sectors, interior vehicle displays, digital interactions for a concept vehicle, and autonomous vehicle product strategy and testing. I am looking for a full-time in-person/semi-remote role on an established design team, where I can ideally work with a product that has digital and physical touchpoints throughout its lifecycle. Experience design has always been a part of any job I have had including projects in rural Tanzania, researching positive organizations, and studying invasive species of the Great Lakes. I’m excited to be in a career where I can combine experience design and user research to solve complex problems.
In my free time, I volunteer with the Red Cross and spend time in the ceramics studio. Contact me and let's work together.
