Hi, I’m Jules, and I’m a product designer.

In May 2026, I was laid off from my corporate design job where I worked as a design director leading design systems for Credit Karma and TurboTax. Instead of jumping straight into the job hunt, I decided to take a break and explore building my own product.

That product is called Al Dente, and it’s an app for people who love to cook.

I’ll be sharing notes on food, digital product design and building apps here along the way.
