Hey! I'm Mallory, a designer based in the Windy City. I am an Ohio University graduate with a BS in Visual Communication, and an alumna of the UX/UI Digital Design Bootcamp, Designation. Most recently, I've been working as a Senior UX/UI Designer at a consultancy in downtown Chicago, where I've collaborated closely with a variety of clients and my internal team of interaction designers, product managers, and developers on desktop and mobile applications, and responsive websites. In addition, I've been able to lead a variety of branding, marketing, and illustration-focused projects as well. Outside of my digital designer time, I'm also an avid ceramicist! I work with a group of friends out of a community studio in the Lincoln Park neighborhood creating both wheel-thrown and handbuilt pottery pieces. And if I'm not at the studio, you can find me snuggling my golden retriever, Frannie!

I'm a Designer who speaks Product. With 7 years of experience building products as a Product Designer and Product Manager at fintech companies including Robinhood, I know what it takes to ship impactful products. What sets me apart from other designers is my background as a product manager, which helps me think deeply about the business and user impact of every design. I've helped build products that let 10 million investors connect with companies they invest in, 3X’ed conversion rates in an application flow, and made it 42% easier to trade one-of-a-kind alternative assets. "What stood out was Jacob's background as both a product manager and designer, which allowed him to approach my project with the perfect blend of operational rigor and design expertise. He took the time to really understand my business and my customers, and his final design was a wonderful combination of my vision, my customers' perspective, and his own ideas. What impressed me most about his work was his keen eye for detail – everything from the overall page design down to the button colors was intentional and thoughtful. He was never afraid to respectfully challenge me, which is not an easy thing to do when working directly with an owner." -Freelance client and business owner As a product designer, I've designed apps and websites for mobile and desktop around themes like AI, music, and finance. As a product manager, I've shipped web and iOS products that delivered real, measurable customer value. I've owned and shipped APIs, user flows for customer acquisition and activation, data analytics dashboards, and more.
