Hi, I’m Janie. Designer by day, teacher, hiker and Spanish learner the rest of the time.
At work, I’m an Experience Architect / Lead Product Designer at Salesforce, leading design for complex enterprise and AI products. Outside it, here’s what keeps me curious.
Orangetheory Fitness
Early-morning classes keep me sharp. Consistency beats intensity, in workouts and in design.
Hiking
Trails are where I reset and think through the hard problems.
Podcasts & Spanish
Design and tech shows on my commute, plus Spanish lessons in my ears. ¡Poco a poco!
Teaching English
I teach English. Explaining things simply is a skill I bring straight back to design.
Impact at enterprise scale
Three principles I bring to every team
Hide system complexity, not data
On Whitespace, I partnered with architecture to put 13 backend sources behind one consistent interaction model sellers could scan in seconds.
AI proposes, people decide
On Einstein Validator, no record reaches the CRM without explicit human approval, so speed never costs data integrity.
Let research move the roadmap
On Return-to-Workplace, eight pilot interviews reshaped a simple pass request into a facility, desk and pass journey.
Known for alignment
“She achieves alignment not only through thoughtfully designed prototypes but also through her executive presence and facilitation of design workshops.”
“Excellent facilitator; her biggest strength! … Janie successfully managed co-leading two large UX workshops while managing feedback coming from several difficult stakeholders across all work streams.”
“Janie’s discovery readout covering user personas and journey maps across six persona groups was held up as the source of truth for the team. She made everyone around her better by creating clarity and shared understanding.”
“She listened attentively, actively responded and engaged with stakeholders throughout various workshops and working sessions and took key concepts presented and translated them into designs that resonated with the business.”
“Janie’s ability to coordinate, encourage, and motivate a busy team of people was a key success factor.”
“Closing my eyes and listening to Janie run a discovery session felt like tuning into a podcast… a total master of the room when it counted.”
