Jessi Contreras

Lead Product Designer with 12+ years taking products from zero to launch across B2B and B2C SaaS and mobile. I build the design infrastructure, run the research, ship the product, and leave teams more capable than I found them.


I work at the intersection of product strategy, engineering, and design, bringing systems-level thinking to products that need to scale without breaking. I influence product decisions upstream and care deeply about accessibility as a quality standard, not a checklist. Currently building AI-assisted design workflows using Claude Code, Figma MCP, Jira MCP, FullStory MCP and other AI tools.

What people say about me


Jessi is an incredibly talented designer. I had the pleasure of working with her as her manager as we developed a product from 0-1. She conducted user interviews, designed a wireframe and prototype and tested the prototype. She has a great skill for organizing a lot of information in a way that is minimalistic, aesthetically pleasing and intuitive to users who may not be very tech savvy. She is very organized and self-motivated, but she also works well across teams. She picked up on the concepts of our marketing platform very quickly and she worked well with engineers, marketing professionals and client services/sales personnel. Jessi is one in a million, I would absolutely consider myself lucky to work with her again in the future.

Mentorship & Leadership


Mentorship and collaboration are core to how I lead. I have guided designers at every level from career switchers to senior practitioners, with a focus on systems thinking, product strategy, and career growth. I also offer occasional free mentorship sessions on ADPList for designers navigating career transitions.
