Hey, my name is Jorell ! Here’s a bit of my story, plus a few photos from my gallery!

A little about me.

I’m a product manager and designer from Texas, and a computer science grad from the University of Houston. Design found me in a high school digital media class, the first time I opened Photoshop, and it stuck. During my time at the University of Houston, I spent as much time designing as coding: I joined the largest computer science club and led a rebrand for CougarCS, interned twice on web development and product design teams at PwC, and co-founded Resumes.fyi with friends in my last semester that ended up getting acquired.

What I’ve been up to.

Today I’m a product manager at American Express, building risk data and AI products. The problems are bigger, but the goal hasn’t changed: take something complicated and make it clear. Outside of work I’m usually on a trail with a camera, cooking, playing Pokémon, taking road trips, or listening to ambient and hyperpop music.
