Jersey Vargas



Hello! I am a product and graphic designer passionate about creating engaging graphics and empathetic experiences. At the core of my practice is a commitment to understanding and addressing the needs of users, particularly those from underrepresented or underserved communities. I approach design as a way to bridge gaps, combining empathy, creativity, and research to craft solutions that truly resonate.

Currently, I am the president of Tufts Product Studio, a student-run organization dedicated to hosting product-design competitions, called Producthons, for students across the Boston area interested in product design, UX/UI design, and product management. I first started as a Producthon participant, then volunteered on their committee planning team because I appreciated the work this student organization did. Having previously served as the Director of Communications on the team and now current President of their e-board, I hope to continue shaping this space in a manner that further uplifts and supports students.

I am happy to connect with those who share a passion for design and innovation!
