Today

Senior UX Designer at Caylent, working on complex, high-stakes products. Founder of Bezolab Creatives serving nonprofits and faith-based organizations.

First Experiences

I found UX through a summer program while at UVA and took on every project I could, from church websites to festival design. Those projects led to nearly five years at Credera designing for Mercedes-Benz, NEOGOV, Raising Cane's and more.

From Community to Craft

Serving my community meant wearing many hats, and it taught me to love understanding people and figuring things out. UX lets me do both, with 25+ clients and projects across 8+ industries so far.

Off the Clock

Behind a camera, on a volleyball court, leading church media, or hosting friends at home.

CLIENT IMPACT

“Jewel's work speaks for itself, and it’s some of the best I’ve seen. She always delivers high-quality designs that are thoughtful, polished, and, above all, effective. It’s easy to get wrapped up in just the aesthetics of a design, but she goes deeper, putting in the time and rigor to build a process that actually enables great design.”
