About Me

Hi, I'm Jerry Mathurin — a UX design leader passionate about building meaningful, human-centered digital experiences.

I’ve led cross-functional design teams across industries — from enterprise and energy to QSR and digital retail — creating systems and experiences that drive measurable business results. My work bridges creativity and strategy, ensuring every design decision supports both user needs and business goals.

My Story

My journey into design started with curiosity — a drive to understand how people think, feel, and interact with technology. That curiosity led me to build my first websites as a teenager, which eventually became a lifelong mission: designing experiences that make complex things feel simple and human.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with global brands and incredible teams, transforming how people order food, manage energy, and engage with digital products. What keeps me motivated is seeing how design can change behavior, inspire connection, and move businesses forward.

My Philosophy

I believe great design starts with empathy and alignment. It’s about understanding not just what users do, but why they do it — and using that insight to create experiences that are functional, inclusive, and emotionally resonant.

For me, design isn’t just about pixels or prototypes — it’s about clarity, purpose, and impact. Every project is an opportunity to make something that improves someone’s day, even in small ways.

My Approach

With over 15 years in the UX field, I blend empathy, design, and strategy to craft digital experiences that resonate deeply with users and drive business success.

Enterprise design team

Research-Driven Design

Every solution begins with listening. I use data, research, and empathy to uncover opportunities that guide better design decisions.

Collaborative Creativity

Design thrives on collaboration. I bring together designers, writers, and engineers to explore, iterate, and co-create with purpose.

Strategic Implementation

I balance creativity with strategy — ensuring every idea connects back to business goals and delivers measurable results.

My past experience

Over the past decade, I’ve led UX design across startups, agencies, and enterprise organizations — building teams, systems, and digital experiences that drive real business impact. My journey has taken me from hands-on design and front-end development to leading multi-disciplinary teams for global brands like Popeyes and NextEra Energy.

Each chapter of my career has deepened my belief that design is both art and strategy — a tool for solving problems, empowering teams, and shaping how people experience the world.

Jerry is a wonderful UX designer committed to learning and improving. During my time working with him at NextEra, he picked up new processes and tools quickly. He was always willing to ask questions and seek the expertise of others, making him a true team player. Because of this, he was willing to step outside his role and help to improve the team, like creating components for the design system.

Jerry has a great ability the bridge the gap between designers and developers by using his technical knowledge. He considers engineering limitations while also being able to creatively solve a problem with an optimal experience for an end user. He takes into consideration processes and works to improve them to be a truly efficient designer.
