Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolScott Jenson is a veteran product strategist and UX designer based in Palo Alto with a multi-decade track record of shaping mobile and IoT experiences at Apple, Symbian, frog, and Google. He helped define foundational Android interactions and haptics (including work on the Back Gesture and numerous drag experiences) and has over 35 patents from long-running applied research into device interaction. Now semi-retired, he consults and advises open-source and community-driven projects such as Mastodon and Home Assistant while running his boutique practice, Jenson Design. Comfortable moving between hands-on design, research, and high-level product strategy, he’s also led large design organizations and shipped standards like the Eddystone BLE beacon. He mentors regularly, has taught and spoken widely, and brings a pragmatic blend of systems thinking and craft to help teams simplify complex user problems. An unusual strength: he combines deep product intuition with a history of shipping both standards and concrete mobile features that touch millions.
