Cake Bites with Jess Lowry

Welcome to Cake Bites, where we go rapid-fire with this week's rule breaker—fast questions, real answers, zero corporate polish. Let's learn more about Jess Lowry, human-centered design strategist and systems thinker, and explore her philosophy of designing for human needs through multidimensional approaches, intentional perspective-shifting, and the power of reconnecting with purpose. Jess's approach to design—through understanding that human-centered design extends far beyond UI to encompass systems, multiple platforms, and unseen interactions, embracing walking and yoga as tools for managing stress while maintaining gentle self-care rather than demanding intensity, and reconnecting with her original "why" when facing setbacks—reveals how intentional environmental shifts and authentic human-centered thinking create lasting impact and drive meaningful results in design and beyond. Her design inspiration flows from her father, an architect specializing in healthcare and emergency services, who taught her that everything must serve the needs of people in spaces and how orchestration of movement creates efficiency and care. Her favorite cake? Rich, dark chocolate paired with coffee or a latte, a reflection of her commitment to savoring life's decadent moments. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
