I design better futures through thoughtful, human-centered leadership.
Hi, I'm Jacqui Belleau.
​
I guide work with a blend of creative, strategic, and operational sensibilities to shape conditions for lasting impact - for users, organizations, and the teams who make it happen.
"Jacqui excels at solving complex, user-centered problems, particularly in challenging environments like space habitats, where her innovative design thinking truly shines"
"Her ability to frame creative approaches and weave compelling narratives around her team’s work demonstrates exceptional leadership in design and storytelling"
"Jacqui possesses an unlimited supply of optimism and wonder. She’s an excellent designer with a refined eye and a wise approach to hairy problems"
"I was always impressed by her ability to manage multiple aspects of the design process - from business development to fine-tuning design details"
Good design solves real problems. That mindset has guided me through two decades of solving challenges across wearables, medical devices, emerging technologies, and human spaceflight - from mission-critical habitats to consumer products loved by millions. These experiences have taken me from operating rooms to microgravity flight, and from users’ homes to C-suites, connecting real human needs with business objectives.
​​
I bring creative leadership and optimism to ambitious programs, integrating human-centered design into the core of development to connect user, technical, and organizational needs. With a background spanning design research, creative craft, and program-level leadership, I hold a high standard for the work and how it gets done, supporting teams and building the structures that enable effective collaboration. I find success when we navigate ambiguity, uncover opportunities to innovate, and bring bold ideas to life in ways that create real impact for users and the people doing the work.
