Jayden Betts, product designer
I design products end to end (and I built a few of my own).
I’m Jayden Betts, a San Francisco-based product designer and 2026 UC Davis Design graduate with an entrepreneurial spirit. A maker at heart, I focus on iOS, B2C, and design systems, loving the challenge of creating playful, accessible experiences that tickle your brain.
Inspired by accessible design, I founded Apollo, an iOS app helping neurodivergent students track and celebrate their wins.
Design has always been my playground.
At the age of 10 I built my first company, a greeting card business where I sold my family cards I would design for fun. I built an entire website in Wix, creating “onboarding flows” to understand what they wanted me to design. I took months on it to use it by myself, but it was fun to me. Afterwards I liked it so much I immediately launched a second site so my three-year-old sister could sell her art, too. She could barely draw but I made an artsy website for her out of my selfish intuition.
Little did I know, that childhood obsession with building, scaling, and playing would entirely shape the product designer I am today. Whether it be making a hundred-page comic book about a talking pea that turned into a superhero, or learning 3D modeling in Blender five times just to forget it the next month (I will be back), I was always making.
My best ideas come from real life.
Outside of work, I draw inspiration from connecting with friends over coffee, pushing my limits at the gym, hiking, and drawing animals. You can always catch my latest adventure on Instagram (or making dancing videos) and LinkedIn.
