Get to know me

Hi I'm Jenny. I’m a Product Manager at Trade Me who is enjoying solving problems for all Kiwis.

As a former Product Designer turned Product Manager, I’ve always been interested in creating great experiences for people and deeply understanding the problems I’m trying to solve.

While I was at University in Wellington completing my degree in design, I was selected as a model for World of Wearable Art. This experience not only proved to be lot of fun, but it also helped me find creative inspiration and extend my creative thinking; especially when having to work out how to bring a designer's vision for a garment I was modelling to life. My love of dancing and design knowledge proved invaluable.

I love working on projects that unify my creativity with my logical thinking.  

I hope you enjoy looking at the pieces I've included in this portfolio.

I worked on a new App with Jenny Atkins in my previous role as Brand and Sponsorship Manager at the charity KidsCan.

Jenny was great to work with, she demonstrated a good understanding of what we wanted to achieve and the best processes to achieve this. I found Jenny very patient as she answered questions, made changes and took time to explain the workings of the App, as my knowledge in this area was limited.

I found Jenny to be very efficient and accurate when making changes and very proactive to suggest options to best suit our needs and provide a great customer experience with our App.

Jenny’s warm, helpful and cheerful manner, made her a pleasure to work with and I hope I have this opportunity again in the future.

Jennifer’s track record as a student is exceptional. Many of our students excel in one particular design aspect or field, but very few perform consistently well in all areas that are covered in the broad Design curriculum. Jennifer impresses with her dedication and talent as designer, she is hard working and knowledgeable, always well prepared.
