About Jenny Spurlock

I lead an inter-disciplinary HCI (human-computer interaction) pathfinding team across VR & AR at Meta Reality Labs; from design to hardware to software to research science.I am drawn to difficult problems at the intersection of design, engineering, and user research, and I love finding creative solutions to solve them. I like synthesizing vast amounts of complex information and distilling ideas into carefully considered conceptual models & product strategy that provide multi-year predictive power through the lens of human-computer interaction.I thrive in ambiguous, innovative environments because I love to structure chaos and believe that the status quo is never good enough. I go where the future is dark and hard to predict, and I like feeling discomfort and challenge. I have a high quality bar for everything.
