Jessica Lowry is a guide, a mentor, and a catalyst for change. With over two decades at the intersection of human-centered design, social science, and organizational transformation, she’s the kind of person who doesn’t just see the system—she rewires it. Jess understands that meaningful change happens when people are empowered to design solutions, experiment, fail, and grow. She brings this philosophy into every room she enters, whether that room is a Fortune 500 boardroom, a government office, or a classroom full of curious minds.It started in Australia, working for National Australia Bank, where Jess got a taste of the magic that happens when you mix empathy with creativity. She wasn’t just building products; she was designing better ways of thinking about how people interact with services. That’s where her fascination with service design began—a fascination that took her into consulting roles with Stamford Interactive, Handsome, MU/DAI, Mutual Mobile, Projekt202, and beyond. Jess doesn’t just solve problems; she brings brilliant people together to solve them, turning complexity into opportunity.In 2017, she launched Exploration x Design. Her goal was not to lead but to guide, not to have all the answers but to create a space where the best answers could emerge. Since then, Jess has been coaching, running design sprints, and helping teams and individuals become more creative, agile, and alive to the possibilities around them. Her work isn’t about installing a new framework or process—it’s about transforming how people see themselves and their capacity to innovate.Today, as the founder and principal consultant of Mindful Studio, Jess draws on her experience to partner with organizations ready for transformation. She teaches them to think beyond the short term, embrace empathy as a strategy, and design solutions that work in the real world. She focuses on roadmaps that lead somewhere meaningful, service blueprints that make sense, and helping people make human and impactful decisions.Jessica’s workshops and talks are not just events—they are invitations. Invitations to rethink, to be uncomfortable, to make something better. She talks about human-centered AI, navigating uncertainty, and life design not as distant, theoretical concepts but as tools we can all use today. Her students, clients, and collaborators know Jess doesn’t just help you see a better future. She empowers you to design it.
