Hello! I'm Jorge Ruiz,

a product designer based in New York City with over eight years of professional design experience. My approach to product design is shaped by a diverse background in both public and private sectors, allowing me to bring fresh perspectives and creative solutions to every project.

I hold a B.S. in Graphic Design from California State University, Sacramento. Shortly after graduating, I relocated to New York City, where I currently reside and continue to grow professionally. Over the years, I’ve enhanced my expertise by completing certifications in Google Ad Manager, Base HTML/CSS, JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures, and Coding for Designers.

My passion lies in crafting customer-centric user experiences, and I thrive in collaborative environments where designers and developers come together to innovate. My work has reached millions of users, with highlights including projects for California’s Franchise Tax Board, data systems for The Hague, UX design for Sports Illustrated, and digital experiences for WW International.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Product Designer at Hearst, a leading global media and business information company. At Hearst, I lead the design of new initiatives and experiences across all newspaper digital platforms. In 2023, our team was honored with 1st place in the International News Media Awards for Best Initiative to Grow Subscriptions.

Beyond my full-time role, I also offer consulting and freelance design services, collaborating with clients to bring their ideas to life.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me!
