Jesse Dubberke

Senior Product Designer · Design Engineer

Twenty-five years designing products — I write the code that ships them, and I built an AI platform solo.

Twenty-five years in digital product, 10+ of them in B2B SaaS, across design systems and brand. I build the system, then I ship it: most recently Desklight, a SaaS platform designed and coded solo, with a public design system. Deep experience in regulated, workflow-dense environments (gaming compliance, legal and mortgage servicing), accessibility-first, and fluent with the engineers I sit beside.

Experience

  1. Desklight

    May 2026 — now

    Founder, Product Design & Engineering

    • Designed and built a SaaS platform end to end, solo: product, brand, design system, and the production code (React, Node/Express, Supabase/Postgres). Deployed and running.
    • The design system is public: Lumen (lumen.desklight.ai) — documented foundations and 30+ components in dark and light, with an OKLCH colour engine that turns two hex values into a WCAG-safe palette.
    • Built an AI ops agent on Claude’s agentic tool-use loop. It takes a brief over email or chat and publishes on-brand graphics to 8 platforms.

    Jan — May 2026

    Marketing Director, Creative Services (contract)

    • Directed brand and creative across a national law firm and its sibling brands, reporting to the CMO and partnering with the CEO.
    • Modernized legacy assets at scale: rebranded 14 product decks via a custom XML pipeline — a complete visual refresh with every chart and signed-off number held 1:1.
    • Built self-serve internal tools in production HTML, including email-signature generators that reconcile Classic and New Outlook rendering firm-wide.

  3. Atlantic Lottery Corporation

    May 2024 — Jan 2026

    Product Designer / UX/UI Designer

    • Built Atlantic DS from zero on Microsoft Fluent 2, accessibility-first (WCAG 2.1/2.2). After a baseline review of the aging legacy system, it was acknowledged as a real modernization option for products serving 500K+ users.
    • Design lead for the registration and onboarding squad in a regulated environment: redesigned FINTRAC-compliant registration with ID-scan integration, embedded with the Product Owner in agile delivery.
    • Wrote a Photoshop automation that generated the full iGames tile library for the Casino lobby rebuild, displacing an outside vendor quote of roughly $250K.
