Jess Phoa

I'm a Senior Product Designer at Postscript who loves a good home-cooked meal, playing with my dog, and hanging out with Mother Nature. I've worked at fledgling and established organizations where I use design to demystify technology — make people’s lives easier! I previously worked at Mastercard, Chartbeat, Gladly, Good Dog, and MullenLowe.

I earned both my B.A. in History and Human-Computer Interaction and Master of Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University.

✨ Ways I can support you ✨
• Resume critique
• Portfolio and interview take-home exercise reviews
• Advice for college students, recent grads, and those changing careers (e.g. Transitioning from school to work, job shadowing)
• Career advice (e.g. Maintaining work-life balance, navigating tricky workplace dynamics)

🤝 How we can make this mentorship a success 🤝
• Be a decent human being 💖
• Share whatever you're comfortable sharing and I'll do the same
• When scheduling, be mindful of each other's time zones — I live in PT (UTC -8)
• Be transparent with timelines and expectations (e.g. don't ask for a take-home exercise review hours before it's due)

Especially interested in supporting womxn, LGBTQIA+ people, and those from underrepresented groups. If you're a full-time student, let me know and I'll give you a discount!
