# Jerusha Holsinger > Designing impactful user experiences with strategic design and branding. Location: Oakland, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/jerusha A seasoned product designer with over four months at Zeta Global, where I focus on shaping forward-thinking, scalable design patterns for two key products. Collaborating closely with the Product team, I prioritize brand consistency and aim to transition the design process from reactive to proactive, ensuring that features align with user needs and business objectives. With over four years of prior experience as a Senior UX Designer at Cheetah Digital by Marigold, I specialized in creating intuitive digital experiences that streamlined complex workflows and empowered marketers. My work emphasizes the integration of user-centered design, product strategy, and agile methodologies to deliver impactful solutions. ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Designer @ Cheetah Digital By Zeta Global Jan 2021 – Jan 2026 As a Senior UX Designer at Zeta Global, I operate at a Staff-level scope, leading design across complex, enterprise SaaS products that power large-scale marketing operations. Working across Cheetah Digital and Journeys, I drive end-to-end product design while shaping the systems, patterns, and strategy that enable teams to deliver cohesive, scalable user experiences. I led product design for Cheetah Express, an AI-driven, lightweight messaging platform built to run alongside Cheetah Digital. As a key driver of the product’s vision, I helped take it from early concept to launch—defining how AI could meaningfully reduce friction in campaign creation, audience targeting, and execution. The result is a significantly faster, more intuitive workflow that rethinks how marketing teams move from idea to live campaign. At the systems level, I partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership to influence roadmap direction, align cross-functional teams, and establish scalable design frameworks across the Marigold ecosystem. I currently lead design across multiple core products, ensuring consistency, accelerating development through reusable patterns, and elevating design as a strategic lever in product decision-making. My work focuses on driving clarity across complexity—combining systems thinking, user insight, and strong cross-functional leadership to deliver high-impact product experiences at scale. ### Lead UX Designer @ KQED Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | San Francisco, California Lead UX Designer for Education and Mobile products at KQED, driving end-to-end product design in close partnership with Product and Engineering.
