Hi, you can call me Macee Jo.
I’m a Senior Product Designer working end-to-end on enterprise software and mobile applications. I can’t help but challenge the status quo, seek out inefficiencies, and solve complex problems.
What gets me up in the morning? Knowing I make a difference in the everyday lives of people who use the internet!
My favorite things about being a product Designer:
Putting myself in someone else’s shoes
Facilitating creative collaboration
Creating relationships with users and coworkers
Designing small moments and the big picture
Iterating. Iterating. Iterating.
My past experience
Early career:
Where it all started
As a digital marketer and graphic designer in a corporate setting, I explored my curiosity of data and logic by wearing many hats. From leading a website redesign, to rebranding two brands, to defining content strategy, I learned a ton.
Transition:
Where I bet on myself
I wasn’t satisfied designing things that didn’t get tested and evaluated for effectiveness, so I left my job and completed a six-month intensive UX course. I learned the principles of UX and UI design, and put them to use on a real client project.
UX beginnings:
Finding my passion
I jumped head first into the fast-paced agency world as a UX designer at a marketing and branding agency. I polished my client management skills, learned about dozens of new industries, and honed my UX architecture skills.
Currently:
Becoming a leader
As a Senior Product Designer I love mentoring new designers and product managers, influencing product strategy, and helping define design team culture on top of the nitty-gritty design work and research!
Outside the Office
I love to make things
Music, art, home improvements, you name it! I’m addicted to learning new skills and making beautiful, improved things!
