“Jess also made the work better just by being in it.”

I loved working with Jess at n0de. She has that rare product design ability to take a messy idea, understand what it’s really trying to do, and turn it into something clearer, sharper and better than it was when it started.

At n0de she helped us move from big, sometimes half-formed thinking about net zero action into actual customer experiences, product flows, prompts, processes and deliverables that people could understand and use. She brought a great mix of curiosity, structure, creativity and execution, always with a strong feel for the customer and what would actually help them move forward.

Jess also made the work better just by being in it. I’d very happily work with Jess again, and I’d thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for a brilliant product/design thinker who can turn ideas into something real. If you are in the clean energy / net zero space and looking for a product person, Jess is it!!!

“…she stands out as a Product Designer who delights through inspired design grounded in elegant usability.”

Jess’s design talent alone is more than enough for me to recommend her. However, when combined with her meticulous ability to translate customer research into insights and outcomes, she stands out as a Product Designer who delights through inspired design grounded in elegant usability. Over the last few years, I have learned so much from Jess and enjoyed every minute of working with her. Her passion and talent for delivering high-quality design, combined with her integrity and determination to make the world a better place, mean that everything she works on becomes easier and better.

“I was actually excited to build the designs she was creating.”

Jess is a pleasure to work with - she’s extremely collaborative, eloquent and passionate about her work.

Her designs are not only considerate of user research and the end users’ experience, but she also creates design that is fun and fresh. There were multiple projects that got me excited to code because I was actually excited to build the designs she was creating. In addition, she works exceptionally well with engineers. She truly values the engineering input and makes the development process smooth and efficient. Jess is a valuable asset to any product team.

“One of her greatest strengths is her strategic thinking.”

Jess has a fierce passion for unpicking complex problems and turning them into intuitive, consistent and scalable product experiences.

One of her greatest strengths is her strategic thinking. Jess has a talent for researching, identifying and defining problems, and her ability to think critically and analyze complex information makes her a highly valuable asset to any initiative.

During her time with Reejig, Jess conducted user interviews, analyzed the data, and synthesized into insights to inform her designs. She communicated this beautifully to the wider org and demonstrated that her solutions were heavily grounded in user needs. Jess is highly skilled at working with and leading cross-functional teams, including developers, product managers, customer success managers and other designers.

If you want to see Jess light up, just mention Data Viz. She is highly skilled at identifying patterns and insights in complex data sets and has a talent for creating powerful visualizations that effectively communicate this information to users.

Jess is extremely driven, dedicated, and thinks out of the box. I highly recommend her and would jump at the opportunity to work with her again.

“…has repeatedly delivered a well-executed project.”

Jess is a driven and highly talented Product designer. She has continually demonstrated a high level of skill, reliability and determination in every project she is involved with leading her to continually take her projects to the next level. Both within her role and external projects, she has been highly reliable, has a high focus on detail and has repeatedly delivered a well-executed project. Jess has strong communication skills and is able to deliver her designs to a range of stakeholders effectively.

“…working with her was such a fun experience because of her energy and warmth.”

Jess is an exceptionally talented values-based leader. Jess was my client contact while working in a consulting capacity on a rebrand project, and her skill in managing multiple stakeholders in a professional, engaging and efficient manner continually impressed me. It was her ability to strategically plan, lead, influence and communicate that helped to drive a successful result for the project we worked on. Not only that, but working with her was such a fun experience because of her energy and warmth. I highly recommend Jess!

“…an extremely insightful digital strategist… and a motivating and decisive leader.”

Jess is not only a highly accomplished product designer; she is an extremely insightful digital strategist, an organised and proactive project director, and a motivating and decisive leader. As our main point-of-contact and client at EngineRoom, Jess was the perfect project lead to rally and structure the business internally, and provide the context, information and access we needed to deliver an effective brand strategy. Jess demonstrates loyalty and passion for the businesses she works with and commits herself to adding value to, and driving their mission forward. Jess’s attention to detail, her desire to positively challenge established thinking, and her ability to see the bigger picture in every situation positions her as an amazing addition to any project, team or business. Jess is a stand-out pleasure to work with and I look forward to doing so again at the earliest opportunity.

“…a free thinker who considers multiple perspectives to craft well thought out design solutions.”

Jess is a fantastic UI/UX designer! Jess designed screens for our website, patient app and our software platform which won the Australian Digital Health Agency Innovation award. She has great work ethics, is extremely responsive and is a free thinker who considers multiple perspectives to craft well thought out design solutions. I highly recommend her!!

“…just an all around badass; this woman can do anything.”

I have never clicked with somebody so quickly both professionally and personally as I have with Jess. I have loved almost every minute working with her over the past 3 years - I say ‘almost’ because she is very persistent at getting me to do things that I initially thought were impossible, turns out that was her just believing in me more than I did myself. We have worked hand in hand on so many projects and I cannot think of a better person to recommend for anybody looking for a product designer, UX researcher, brand manager, people and culture expert, event planner, artist, project manager... just an all around badass; this woman can do anything.

Jess has also been a tremendous support person and mentor for me during my time at EngineRoom - she has helped me navigate both inter- and intra-personal challenges and I can honestly say I have become a better human because of her.

Jess is someone who is an absolute beast to have on your crew and I could not ask for a better friend/colleague/human. Your business would be better off with her on board and I will always jump at the opportunity to work with her again.

“…has proved to be a valuable extension of our team.”

Jess has worked with Creative Approach for a number of years on a variety of projects and has proved to be a valuable extension of our team. Her understanding of UX/UI concepts and design are exemplary and her knowledge, processes and quality of work can always be relied upon to deliver high value.

“Thanks Jess, you rock.”

I didn’t know Jess before we met, but she very quickly understood our business and brand challenges. She got on with providing sensible business advice, UX insights and delivered a really terrific website and brand story for us. Jess is full of energy, responsive to dull questions from me and I feel she has my back. It’s just what you need in business.

Thanks Jess, you rock. But don’t be going anywhere. You’re on the team!

“…her flexibility, energy and drive for excellence is what every project and workplace needs more of.”

Jess and I worked on a couple of different client projects for a finance and airline client. Jess joined the team in transition and instantly got up to speed and added value to the design process and design assets. Jess is insightful, strong communicator and an idea-generating designer. All of the best attributes I look for in my design partners.

I loved working with Jess, her flexibility, energy and drive for excellence is what every project and workplace needs more of.

“Jess is an absolute dream to work with…”

Jess is an absolute dream to work with- a fantastic designer who’s able to communicate to her clients in a way that makes the new website process clear and easy. I have worked with her on projects from small local business to big nationwide or even global companies and she gives the same amount of attention and finesse to everyone. I can’t recommend Jess highly enough.

“…nothing has been a problem for her…”

Jess Knollmeyer was recommended to us by a business colleague when we were looking to redesign our website.

She has been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the whole website design and implementation process. She is always super responsive and enthusiastic to deal with, and nothing has been a problem for her - even troubleshooting for us while she was overseas on holiday. Her creative abilities even extended to taking the staff pictures for our website, which we are really happy with.

I would happily recommend Jess to anyone interested in any aspect of website design.

“The best thing about the process with Jess was ease.”

I recently collaborated with Jess after a recommendation from my business partner and we worked together to create a new website for Buddy. The best thing about the process with Jess was ease. It’s challenging to find a designer who is easy to work with and does what you ask and Jess went out of her way to suggest tweaks and additions to the site that were not expected but very useful. Timeframe, scope and attention to detail were all spot on and communication was great. I have continuously found it hard to find someone to execute the ideas I have in my head, yet she has done exactly that. I would highly recommend working with Jess.

“…thoughtful UX designs with a touch of her artistic flair.”

Jess is a wonderful and dedicated leader. I have experienced this first hand as she managed a number of high profile clients whilst I was working on her team at 24 Digital. She always goes out of her way to understand the clients business and fully immerses herself into every project that comes her way. Not only is she a great project manager to work with she also possesses an ability to build well structured and thoughtful UX designs with a touch of her artistic flair.

“Jess’s ability to turn a clients vision and passion into something visual is astounding.”

Jess Knollmeyer is not only an extremely talented Web designer, but also an absolute pleasure to deal with. Jess’s ability to turn a clients vision and passion into something visual is astounding. I look forward to working with Jess again and again in the future and Jess has become my go to referral for Web Design services. All referrals have given rave reviews of her work!

“…a degree of professionalism that was unparalleled…”

In 2015 Jess Knollmeyer was part of a team as lead Digital producer for developing and finessing the online presence for the Cure for MND Foundation “Big Freeze at the G” campaign. This was a large scale, ambitious charity project aimed at raising funds for research into Motor Neurone Disease/Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (MND/ALS). The logistics of the project meant a high degree of flexibility, creativity, and persistence was required to develop an online website presence and donation facility that would meet our goals. Jess embodied all these traits, all with a degree of professionalism that was unparalleled, and without doubt Jess and her team played an integral part in making this campaign the huge success that it was. The Cure for MND foundation board of directors, including myself, could not recommend Jess highly enough for all digital development solutions, and we look forward to working again with her in the near future.

“Jess is one of the most talented people I have ever worked with.”

I had the pleasure of working with Jess at Discovery Group Australia where we managed a full company re-brand together. Jess is one of the most talented people I have ever worked with. It is scary that she is only 22! Not only is she very talented with her creative and graphic design skills, she has extensive knowledge and passion for all things digital.

Jess works hard, is extremely efficient, lights up a room with her positive attitude and energy and is also strategic thinker. I would highly recommend Jess for any position in the digital, marketing or design world but believe she will excel in any position that she is passionate about. Hopefully I will have the chance to work with her again in the future.
