👋 Hi LinkedIn, I’m Jaxanna (but feel free to call me Jax).

Recently, while working with a career coach, I was encouraged to create a self-promotional video 🎥.

I’ll admit—my first reaction was discomfort 🫠. Why does talking about our own work feel so awkward sometimes?

After some reflection, I realized that sneaky little voice whispering, “Who are you to promote yourself?” 🙉 was none other than Impostor Syndrome 🫥.

But here’s the truth: We should talk about our work. Our passions ❤️. Our growth ⛰️. Because if we don’t tell our story—who will?

So, I leaned into the discomfort and made the video anyway. Why? Because I’m proud of the work I’ve done, and even more excited about where I’m heading 🌅.

✨ I’m a BILINGUAL 🇪🇸/🇺🇸 DESIGNER with EXPERIENCE in PROJECT & PRODUCT MANAGEMENT—including time at Genius Sports 🧠⚽️, where I used AI to power my workflow as a product manager.

I combine DESIGN THINKING💡 with STRATEGIC PROBLEM-SOLVING 📊 to build bold, effective visuals.

I’m AWARD-WINNING, DETAIL-DRIVEN, and PASSIONATE about identity, branding, and visual storytelling.

There! It feels good to get that out 😉

🚪 I’M OPEN TO:

New creative collaborations

Freelance opportunities

Full-time roles where thoughtful design meets real-world impact

Let’s connect! 🤝

It's been a while since I was active so thought I'd start off by sharing one of my recent branding projects which started out as a can design for a quick collab and spiralled into creating a whole brand world! Let me know your thoughts!
