15 rewarding years designing in tech
My time in design, tech, marketing, and in simply existing as a human have taught me so much. Most meaningful to me, however, has been collaborating with talented, curious people who come together without ego—to understand, ideate, build, test, and learn—these are the teams that step fearlessly into the arena, deliver solutions that enhance the human experience, and embrace iteration because the true reward lies in the process, not just the launch.
Teammates Describe Me & My Work

Mahendra Penumathsa
CEO, NEOBRIC & TED TALKS
"As a product manager, I worked closely with Tessa. She drove product vision through user research, established a customer-centric mindset throughout the organization, and deepened my understanding of our customers."

"Tessa was a pleasure to work with, brought a customer-centric approach, challenged ideas to improve the final product outcome, and most importantly, never lost focus of the big picture."
