Hi, I'm Jess Zak.

I'm a San Francisco-based senior product designer with 10 years experience in UX/UI, visual, branding/identity and marketing design. I made my way to design by way of copywriting for a startup that recognized my initiative, design sensibility and talent for designing products that make a real difference in the lives of their users.

I'm a passionate advocate for the user, and love telling their stories through well-designed products and brands. I love every part of the design process - from research, user flows, wire-framing, rapid prototyping, asset production, creating high fidelity mockups, and designing directly in the code.

I feel the best products and brands are created through collaboration, and thrive on a team where ego takes a backseat to doing great work. 

Specialties include: Visual Design, User Experience Design, UI Design, User Testing, Interaction Design, Information Architecture, Content Strategy, Branding, HTML/CSS, SASS, Logo/Identity Development, Creative Brainstorming & Concepting, Client Presentations

I am currently happily employed at Apple.
