Product Designer. Visual Storyteller. Cat Enthusiast.
Hi! I’m Jessica Carnegie, a Product Designer with a BFA in Graphic Design from Virginia Commonwealth University, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude. I bring experience across nonprofit, agency, and corporate environments, which helps me approach problems with flexibility and a well-rounded perspective.
My design philosophy is rooted in curiosity and clarity. I love creating intuitive, visually engaging experiences that balance user needs with business goals. I’m a collaborative thinker who asks the right questions, listens closely, and brings structure to ambiguity.
Before product design, my foundation in customer service taught me how to understand people, what they need, what they struggle with, and how to design solutions that truly help.
Outside of work, you will usually find me making jewelry, art, and nurturing my plants, or spending time with my two cats, Dobby and Harley.
Current Work
I’m a Product Designer who turns complexity into clarity and believes great products are built when everyone thinks like a designer. At CoStar Group, I’ve led end-to-end design across multiple internal platforms that power data-driven real estate decisions, transforming complex workflows into intuitive and scalable experiences used across several business verticals.
I’m committed to empowering non-designers by documenting patterns, sharing best practices, and creating resources that help developers and product owners make design-informed decisions. I use my deep platform knowledge to connect teams solving similar problems, bridging gaps, reducing duplicated work, and accelerating alignment across the organization.
My approach blends systems thinking with a strong understanding of user needs and business goals. Through close cross-functional collaboration, I’ve streamlined processes, improved usability, and shaped a shared design language that drives clarity, reduces friction, and delivers measurable impact.

Café Novice, College Project
If you want to to see where it all started check out Café Novice. A mobile app concept for coffee enthusiasts to discover new brews, learn brewing techniques, and save personalized recipes. I designed an intuitive, visually rich experience that blends education and exploration, helping users move from casual drinkers to confident home baristas. The project focused on differentiating in a saturated market through personalization, clean UI, and modular design, reinforcing the value of user research and design systems in creating scalable, engaging experiences.
