Hello! I’m Jeru Barnes

With a background in fashion design, I’ve always used UX/UI methodologies to solve problems, while adhering to consistently evolving markets.

For the past 6 years, I’ve been passionate about merging design and technology to build impactful experiences. I enjoy helping companies define their user’s pain points, synthesize data, extract user feedback, and iterate in a collaborative environment to provide more holistic design solutions.

When I’m not designing, I’m working out, dancing, touring art spaces, exploring nature, and traveling.
