Hi, I'm Jill. Principal product designer. I build things people actually need.

Design & Travel is my company. Real people had real problems, nothing out there fixed them, so I built the fix. Every app here started with a real problem.

Beyond the apps: how I design agentic AI, my talks and workshops, and design lessons from the road. Look around. Then go outside.

    Agentic AI design

    Agentic design is UX for AI agents: deciding what each agent does, what it checks, how it hands work to the next one, and where a person makes the final call. Design & Travel is my company, run by a team of AI agents I designed.

    Talks, workshops & mentoring.

    Mentoring, hands-on workshops and talks on human-centered AI, accessibility and designing through change. Each talk runs as a keynote or a workshop, in person or online.

    Cookie policy.

    Short version: this site sets no cookies on its own. Google Analytics, which counts visits, runs only if you press Accept. You can change your mind at any time.

    Who runs this site

    designandtravel.co is run by Jill Tague for Design & Travel LLC. For questions about privacy or cookies, write to jillmtague@gmail.com.

    What this site stores, and where

    Cookies are one kind of browser storage. Here is everything this site can store.

    • Your cookie choice (browser storage key dt-consent). Remembers whether you pressed Accept or Reject, so the banner doesn't come back. It stays on your device and is never sent anywhere. It does not need consent, because it only remembers your answer.
    • Your display preferences (dt-still, dt-fmt, dt-sound). Remember the pause switch, the hero view and sound on or off. They stay on your device and are never sent anywhere.
    • Visit counter (dt-sid, in session storage). A random ID for this browser tab, forgotten when you close the tab. It is not a cookie and it doesn't identify you. The counter records which pages and buttons are used and how long a page is open. It never records what you type. The counter is off when your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, and on localhost.
    • Google Analytics (only if you accept). Google sets cookies named _ga and _ga_ followed by the site's measurement ID. They last up to two years and let Google tell visits apart. Google Analytics records the pages you view, how long you stay, the links and buttons you use, your rough location (country and region), and your device and browser type. Google processes this data, including in the United States. Activity records (pages viewed, clicks) are kept for 2 months. User records linked to the cookies are kept for 14 months from your most recent visit.

    Your choices

    • Accept or Reject. The banner offers both buttons at the same size and weight. Rejecting is as easy as accepting.
    • Change your mind any time. Press in the footer or below.
    • Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends either signal, this site treats it as Reject. It doesn't load Google Analytics and doesn't ask again.
    • Your browser settings. You can delete or block cookies in your browser. Google Analytics sets new ones if you accept again.
    • Google's own opt-out. Google offers a browser add-on that stops Google Analytics from collecting data. Get it at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

    Legal basis and your rights

    If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, Google Analytics cookies are set only with your consent, as the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules require. Storage that only remembers your choice or your preferences does not need consent.

    You can withdraw consent at any time with Cookie settings. You can also ask what personal data relates to you, ask for it to be deleted, and complain to your national data protection authority.

    Changes to this policy

    If this site adds or removes a cookie or other storage, this page changes first and the banner asks again.
