/ Multidisciplinary Creative

I’m Jill McCarthy,
a  Visual / UX
designer

I am grateful to be able to work in a field I love and have fun at the same time.

I started out in print and then transitioned over to the interactive world. I’ve had the pleasure to work for several agencies that have helped to form my strong visual and technical foundation. I enjoy formulating a creative solution that meets both the product/company’s requirements and their vision and message. I am comfortable working on large teams or independently with minimal guidance.

Work Experience

Visual/UX Designer @ State Farm

As a Visual UX Designer, I work closely with an agile team of professionals- analysts, UX leads, UX architects, content strategists, and interaction designers- developing innovative and intuitive visual design solutions for a wide range of customer-facing experiences within mobile and responsive environments. I design to drive consistency across multiple platforms, as well as identify emerging styles and shaping the direction of the user experience enterprise-wide. I focus on creating compelling digital workflows that are easily transformed into engaging web experiences in collaboration with all team members within a productive and efficient creative space.
