Hello!

I'm Jess Brown, one of the founding members and the VP of Design at Aspiration, a new kind of investment firm - built on trust and founded on the idea that we can do well and do good at the same time.

I’ve recently joined the Peoria Innovation Alliance as a Co-Executive Director.

I was formerly a lead Interaction Designer at Google Nest/MyEnergy, also a Designer-in-Residence at the incubator, Science Inc. 

But most importantly I'm a husband and father to four amazing kids.
