Ready to drive strategic design outcomes at scale?

Let's chat – I’m open to new opportunities where I can apply systems thinking and human-centered design to solve complex problems, deliver measurable business outcomes, and elevate product experiences at scale.




    Design leader that brings clarity to complex products.

    I help teams turn fragmented systems into intuitive, scalable tools – grounded in strategy, systems thinking and collaboration.

    I BELIEVE

    Great design isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s about solving real problems for real people.

    Jennifer P. Stewart

    Lead Product Designer focused on systems thinking, product strategy, and turning complexity into clarity.

    I help teams bring structure to complex problems – crafting tools that align systems, workflows, and human needs. My work spans autonomous aviation, healthcare, AI platforms, wellness and cloud software – across startups, agencies and enterprise environments.

    Whether launching new products or scaling existing ones, I partner closely with engineers and PMs to define scalable systems and deliver meaningful, user-centered outcomes. I thrive in teams that move with intention, value cross-functional partnership, and trust design to drive outcomes – not just polish pixels.

    Teams rely on me to think several steps ahead – surfacing edge cases early, planning proactively and reducing downstream friction. I believe good design doesn't just move fast – it moves forward with clarity.

    AREAS OF FOCUS

    The Foundations of My Design Practice

    Each of these focus areas shapes my design practice—rooted in strategy, built through collaboration, and centered on real user needs.

    star

    Start with Insight

    Design starts with understanding. By talking to users and observing how they interact with technology, I uncover the insights that drive strategy-led solutions — aligning user needs with business outcomes and informing scalable platform design.

    Simplify the Complex

    Complex problems deserve simple, scalable solutions. I use systems thinking, interaction patterns, and usability best practices — alongside rapid prototyping — to reduce friction, validate ideas early, and support confident decision-making at scale.

    Lead with Purpose

    Effective teams thrive on trust, clarity, and operational excellence. I mentor designers, shape onboarding, and refine design processes — creating frameworks that foster growth, drive shared success, and scale collaboration across teams.

    Kind Words from People I've Worked With

    Samuel Jaklich - UX Designer @ VML

    Jennifer was my lead instructor and mentor at Flatiron School. Under her guidance I felt not only as if I were deeply learning and practicing the design process, but that my success was truly a concern of hers. 

    She is someone who will go out of their way to help. If I ever had a question or a problem that she couldn't answer, she would own the problem right alongside me and we would figure out the solution together. 

    Moreover, she would not only give great feedback but humbly receive it from her students to whom she truly listened. She is a valued mentor, and anyone would be lucky to have her as one. I owe her much of my success.

    I doubt you'll find many designers like Jennifer who are both incredibly fun and easy to work with and also displays absolute mastery and ownership over her craft. Would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking a top tier designer.

    I had the opportunity to work with Jennifer at Inmotion Software on a project with a tight deadline. She would always take the time to listen to design requests and discuss application features. Her expertise and communication skills were key to making the proper recommendations and providing feedback to web developers. It was a great pleasure working with Jennifer and bringing a complex design to life.
