About
I'm Jarel, a 0 → 1 Product Designer who helps companies create emotionally resonant, end-to-end experiences across digital and physical touchpoints.
What I bring to every team:
I propel ideas from concept to implementation through user research, systems thinking, and cross-medium design.
I translate complexity into clarity through intentional sequencing and purposeful storytelling.
I focus on emotional resonance and intuitive usability to create products people trust, love, and return to.
I design across interfaces, garments, packaging, and emerging technologies like NFC and blockchain.
I merge UX, fashion, and emerging tech to create distinctive experiences people remember.
Education and Highlights:
Pursuing a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction & Design at UC Irvine (2025 cohort)
Earned a BS in Human Centered Design & Engineering from the University of Washington
Developed user-centered research, systems thinking, and product strategy skills through 3 years of hands-on coursework and team projects
Freelanced across UX, visual, and product design for high-profile clients, including Grammy-nominated band Avenged Sevenfold
Founded A Happy Cactus, a digital-physical streetwear brand that sold out within three months, with 10% of profits donated to national park conservation
Partnered with Berify to launch the first blockchain-authenticated fashion collection using their patented NFC tagging technology
