Jay Thoresen
Product Design / Design Systems
Hello, I'm Jay. A designer with nearly 20 years of experience spanning product design, UI/UX, and marketing design. Most recently I was leading design initiatives at Lumosity, where I evolved from implementing marketing solutions to architecting comprehensive design systems that enhanced product performance and user experience.
While I mainly specialize in building scalable design systems. I also have a foundation in product design and front-end development. I bring a holistic understanding of both design aesthetics and technical implementation.
Throughout my career, I've mentored junior designers, led cross-functional teams, and driven significant improvements in product metrics through thoughtful design solutions.
I'm passionate about creating design system frameworks that not only maintain consistency but also empower teams to innovate efficiently.
Some of the things I enjoy working on:
- Design Systems Architecture
- UX/UI Design
- Front-End Development
- WCAG Accessibility Compliance
- User Research & Testing
- Cross-functional Team Leadership
Aside from that I also enjoy hanging with my wife and kids, playing in kickball leagues, remodeling my house, trying to beat every stake in Balatro, music/comedy/film, and (slowly) learning how to design and build modular shelves.
