I'm Jesse, a senior product designer on the Video Player Foundations team at Meta, who loves to solve problems and design beautiful, intuitive experiences that make an impact, both big and small. In May 2020, I graduated from Cornell University, where I studied Information Science with concentrations in User Experience and Digital Culture and Production, along with a minor in Business. During the summer of 2018, I was a product design intern at Vox Media, where I helped design a personalized watchlist experience for Eater. The following summer, I interned on the Video Design team at Facebook, before returning there full-time in August 2020.
In Fall 2017, I decided to take Intro to Digital Product Design, a student-taught course at Cornell, and this class truly changed my life. I immediately fell in love with user experience design, a space that combines my passions for design, business, psychology, multi-faceted problem-solving, and social change.
When I'm not knee-deep in Figma, you can find me fidgeting with Rubik's Cubes, binge-watching Netflix thrillers, riding the Peloton, and traveling! I am a team player, always challenging myself and open to new and exciting opportunities. Let's chat! Feel free to message me at jesseprague@gmail.com.
