Hello, I'm Jésu

A student and practitioner of design. As an artist and T-shaped designer, I am passionate about using design thinking to design things that are boringly obvious. My mission is to work alongside compassionate, and driven individuals who are committed to solving difficult challenges through fun work.

Over the past decade, I've worked with companies to improve or create products and brands. Some of these companies are Trulia, Chick-fil-A, Ngmoco, Cloud CMA, and Verizon.

Personal

A picture of Jésu Cardenas being happy

Colombian-American immigrant raised in South Florida, currently a resident of Louisville, Colorado. A very calm and sleepy town, close to great trails, with (usually) great humans.

In my spare time, you'll find me on a bike, playing with my golden retriever Ash, fixing or updating my body/brain, or my favorite; people watching.

My favorite movie character is Lieutenant Dan.
