About

hi@yanisafreres.com

I’m Yanisa or some call me Jane — I design digital products that turn complex ideas into clear, useful experiences.

I’m a product designer based in Los Angeles with over 10 years of experience across startups, agencies, and global teams.

I’ve worked across EdTech, SaaS, and platform products. From early concepts to shipped systems used by thousands of users.


My focus is simple

  • Make things easier to understand

  • Make them actually useful

  • Make them work at scale

End-to-end UX/UI design for digital products. From concept to launch.
