About Jessica Downey

Senior Product Designer at Microsoft

✨I am on break from mentoring for now✨

I'm currently a senior product designer at Microsoft in Canada. I was born and raised in France and obtained there a masters in interaction design and a masters in virtual reality engineering and innovation there before moving to the US on a visa for my internship and then my first job. I worked as a UX design consultant, a lead designer in an innovation department, lead designer in an early stage startup and as senior designer. I have worked in France, the US, the Netherlands and Canada. I am specialised in interaction design and am interested in facilitating workshops and innovation processes like design sprints. I love to talk about UX methods, experiences as a designer and to help females designers getting into tech.
