Jesse Bilsten is a Principal Designer with 13+ years of focused product and UX leadership and over 20 years of cross-disciplinary experience blending design, engineering and business strategy. At GoDaddy he has led major product areas—from cart and checkout to billing, SSO and account settings—driving design system adoption, a Sketch-to-Figma migration, and measurable improvements in conversion and consistency. He combines hands-on prototyping and frontend chops with executive experience managing teams, multi-million-dollar budgets, and stakeholder alignment at Fortune 100 clients. A strategic, future-focused leader who values relationships, Jesse pairs a pragmatic engineering mindset with a customer-advocate approach honed across startups and large brands like Apple, Microsoft, Samsung and Disney. Outside work he channels the same humility and persistence into family life and competitive golf—a recurring source of design metaphors and creative perspective.
