Jess Wittebort

Product Designer, Jesamy

London

A back-up dancin' Product Designer from London (via Kentucky & Venezuela)

Jess began her career in design as an Art Director for print, radio and TV. After several years working primarily for beauty, healthcare and aviation in the US, she shifted towards interactive design. She started a business in NYC, called Raising Heartrates to build a community around inspiring NYC female triathletes and to support aspiring, disabled athletes. Shortly after, Jess completed her Masters in Interactive Media with a focus on social technology’s curious ability to enhance and bridge the gap between online and offline spaces. In 2007 she moved to lead Headshift’s UX team (later Dachis Group) where she spent the following five years designing public and private facing, social software aimed at enhancing brand and business efficiency. Jess has worked with clients including BBC, BP, Coca Cola, Schlumberger, Yodel, HSBC and the Bank of England to name a few.
