Jazmin, although one hundred percent a dog person, is a cat with nine lives.

In one life she was a hairstylist, where she learned the value of human connection stranger-to-stranger.¹ In another life, she learned to be a designer, creating logos, brand identities, and printed works.² In her current life she is a UX/UI designer, solving challenges, nerding out on research, analyzing user behavior, and designing screens to meet user needs.³

In all of her lives, she is always a writer. She would argue she’s able to do all of these things because she is a writer.⁴ She can’t help but find poetry in everyday life. At her core, she strives to communicate effectively — embracing first drafts, being an attentive listener, and understanding people (and the world around them).

2. BFA in Graphic Design from California State Univerity, Long Beach.

3. Currently she is designing user experiences and interfaces for luxury smart home appliances.
