JesseBisignano

Product designer in Santa Cruz, CA.

I design products end to end: the research, the interaction, the system, and often the production code that ships it. My work spans AI workspaces, data-heavy enterprise applications, consumer mobile apps, and marketing sites. Much of my recent work is about trust in AI products: what an agent may do on its own, and how a person stays in control.

UX Research

I run research that ends in decisions, not decks: which user comes first, which problem is worth solving, and what the design has to protect when the tradeoffs arrive.

UI Design

I build design systems meant for production: tokens, components, and rules that survive contact with real engineering, so the interface stays coherent as it grows.

Prototyping

I prototype in working code, not clickthroughs: real data, real states, real interactions. Engineering gets a code-native artifact, so less intent is lost in handoff.

Claude Code

My bridge from design to production — I ship real, working interfaces straight from my mockups instead of handing off static files.
