JESSIE CHAR

WHO IS JESSIE

I am a designer, musician, and conference producer based in New York City. With nearly 18 years of experience in tech, I've worked for corporations, design agencies, and indie software studios. In 2012 I co-founded and ran Pacific Helm, a boutique design agency specializing in UX/UI and brand design. I later created the Layers, a design conference which ran in concert with Apple's WWDC until 2020.

This site is a work-in-progress. More to come!
