01 / ABOUT

Jessica
Cats.

I bring a clear point of view to complex brand challenges. I define the ideas and experience systems that move them forward.

Experience Strategist · Creative Direction · New York

HOW I SEE

The whole
experience.

I work at the intersection of creative strategy and experience design, shaping how brands communicate through spaces, content, technology, and human interaction.

02 / PRACTICE

From the first question to the moment it meets someone.

At Czarnowski Collective, I lead creative and experience strategy across BMW Group programs. I establish the central idea, narrative direction, and experience journey, working with multidisciplinary teams to carry that vision through design and production.

My background in UX research, public health, and visitor evaluation informs how I approach creative challenges. I consider how people understand an idea, move through an environment, and build meaning across encounters.

I'm particularly drawn to complex projects where a strong creative point of view can bring many moving parts into focus.
