Hola, I'm Kelly Jacobs, but many call me KJ.
I'm a long-distance running, dog mom based in Virginia. Most recently, I've been leading the Supply design team at Parachute Health.
I didn't always work in product design. For my first "real" job, I spent a year in Cusco, Peru working for a non-profit called GirlSportWorks (GSW) striving to empower young women through sports.
My passion for leveraging our understanding of human nature to help people and their communities eventually drove me to the field of user experience (UX). After spending some time at Deloitte Digital in DC, I moved to NYC where I've used my skills in UX and leadership to elevate products across a number of fintech and martech startups.
