Driven by curiosity, I leverage my diverse professional background as a Product Designer by harmonizing creativity and technicalities to simplify complexities for businesses and end-users.

Establishing Trust with Transparency

With the rise of the audio economy, it's important that we eliminate social anxiety and provide security. This case study covers how we maximize user benefit by designing transparency to enable users to foster genuine connections with confidence.

YouTube Subscriptions Management

Despite generating $15.15 billion USD in revenue, YouTube users continue to experience cognitive overload leaving users frustrated resulting in lower engagement, application abandonment, and lower viewership. This case study breaks down our non-linear design process and how we used various testing methods such as A/B and usability tests to learn through trial-and-error to solve a real pain point people experience.

Integrating Physical to Digital

Patch Plants is a London-based plant centre with the mission to bring joy to people with plants through education. In this case study, I bridge the gap between Patch and their target market by integrating their values and marketing strategy to educate users. I strategically designed physical characteristics and interactions to further deliver a seamless onboarding experience.

My Story

Growing up in ensembles opened my eyes to the power of collaboration (exactly like cross-functional teams) and the impact of one - the significance of each individual. From nature to nurture to my previous roles in Public Relations, Marketing, and Sales — I transitioned into Product Design with the ultimate goal to help other people through strategy and innovation.

As a Product Designer, I believe in strategy and fluidity. To deliver the best for humanity with business in mind, I move with intention — design to maximize user benefit to build bridges and establish reliability. The comprehensive processes I follow ensure every decision made is user-centric based on hard data. I seek for clarity with the ultimate goal of solving real pain points people experience.

Off the bat, I include a diverse group of individuals from the beginning of a project to ensure accessibility is not an afterthought. With tools such as Figma, Notion, Miro, and Maze, bringing concepts to life and validating decisions has never been more accessible.

The PR-person in me naturally connects the dots through branding and storytelling. In my experience pitching, I've learned that clean, short, and concise is the most efficient way to communicate as information is easy to digest and keeps everyone in sync. Working in the PR industry also taught me how to respond resourcefully to time sensitive matters, how cues can translate differently across cultures, and how to understand problems from different perspectives.

As a creative problem solver, I absolutely love to experiment and try different methods of doing things. My curiosity constantly drives me to dig deeper to understand specificities. Trial-and-error is an essential process in cross-sectoral innovation as there's so much to learn from failure. Exploring different ecosystems to ask questions to define purposes, functionalities, and what could come out of forging systems together are wonders I wish to learn. Through exploration we could solve existing and potential frustrations, increase business value, and most importantly simplify complexities to create healthier, more seamless experiences for everyone.

Ian Herbst Product Designer "In my experience working with Jhoza, I found her to be a fantastic communicator and leader. Early on in the process of iterating Anyone’s product, our group hit a snag. Our original solution wasn’t going to work. Thankfully, Jhoza quickly re-oriented our focus in such a way that allowed us to look at the challenge with fresh eyes and design an even better solution than what we originally had in mind. That was an invaluable lesson she imparted to me. Jhoza’s ability to identify a multitude of solutions to a single problem is truly impressive. What makes Jhoza a great Product Designer, however, is her patient approach to the work. She never commits to a solution unless she verifies it with data first. In this way, she was a true role model to our team of junior designers. Jhoza also happens to be one of the kindest, most open-minded designers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Her positive attitude and inquisitive mind are infectious. Something that greatly impressed me about Jhoza was her willingness to share her knowledge with others… she never made it about competition. In today’s world, that’s refreshing. It also makes it easy for me to imagine her being very successful in a managerial position. Ultimately, Jhoza’s desire to constantly be learning and sharing with her peers is what convinces me she’ll enjoy (and deserves!) a long and successful career as a Product Designer. As such, I would highly recommend her to any design team looking to hire.”

Caitlyn Hutchison UX/UI Designer "Jhoza brought specific insights to the app iteration on establishing trust, making the content design appealing and relatable, and prioritizing timeliness and efficiency. During design critiques, she was quick to share different design options (sometimes coming up with new iterations on the spot) as she walked us through her sketches. Jhoza starts our decision-making sessions with brand new insights and fresh perspectives. Her mind is always synthesizing the group insights and making new connections even after we wrap up the day. She’s open, clear, dedicated, and is wonderful to work with through all stages of the design process. Jhoza recognizes that for every positive design decision, there’s the potential for a negative outcome that could harm or put a user at risk. Designing the balance and being aware of all design outcomes: Jhoza’s driven by values to make the internet safer by designing trustworthy software, accountable companies and brands, enhanced data and privacy settings, accessibility, and better informed citizenry. Jhoza brought such rich perspectives to the team. While I tend to be broad, she zooms into the details and ensures that we answer specific pain points."

Chris Hiddins UX/UI Designer "I found she had a wealth of information to share with the team. She's constantly looking to understand the fundamentals and principles of design while also seeking to learn new things and stay on top of trends within the industry. She's willing to challenge ideas and have her own ideas challenged which always helped the team gain a deeper understanding of our ideation processes and design decisions. Jhoza always brought such a positive and energetic energy to every class we had. She's incredibly supportive and friendly which we found to be an invaluable asset to our team. She also has fantastic networking skills, as she was always befriending new people. If you want someone who will always be at the cutting edge of progress and tech, and not afraid to take on ambitious new projects, while tackling problems with a user-centered approach, Jhoza makes a great candidate for the job.”

LauraAnn Drury Lead Community Manager, Memorisely "It was a pleasure witnessing Jhoza thrive in her education at Memorisely. She pushed herself out of her comfort in order to grow in her journey through UX/UI Design. She was engaged, accountable, creative, and an incredible student! I was able to watch Jhoza present her final Case Study at her graduation and was blown away. It was thorough and clean, not to mention stunning! Jhoza and her group worked on the app, Anyone; and, with Bootcamp being only 12 weeks, the outcome and presentation of this project made it seem much longer than that. I am super proud of what Jhoza has accomplished and how much she has grown in the past 12 weeks. I can't wait to follow along with her journey as a designer!”
