Oh hi, it's Jon. I'm a hands-on design director with a knack for editorial. I facilitate product strategy sprints and lead cross-functional teams from discovery through delivery.

Hybrid, plugged in

I’m a lead designer-slash-design leader, often flexing between individual contributor work and leadership.

I currently occupy a player-coach position at a small product studio, where I run product design and development teams and partner with clients to plan and manage their custom software projects.

Whatever my role, I'm committed to helping cross-functional teams establish holistic product strategies, assemble durable systems, and ship inspired, purpose-driven software.

What’s the word on the street?

“Jon’s leadership style is deeply optimistic, collaborative, and connective. He doesn’t just focus on design—he actively builds bridges across disciplines, aligning teams and ensuring product, engineering, and business goals all work in sync. His ability to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and foster strategic thinking has made him a critical force in our success.”
