about

<aside> 🌿 Hi there, I’m Jonathan.

I work with companies, non-profits, technology teams, and creative firms to shape technology (and sometimes other services & systems) to serve people, planet, and purpose. I lead from a place of deep care for our collective present and future.

UX has always fascinated me because of the variety of disciplines that come into play. I’ve spent time as an interaction designer, a behavioral marketer, a service designer, a user researcher, a workshop facilitator, a product strategist, and recently a creative director.

I maintain an active interest in cognitive science, philosophy, economics, technology, visual media, and sustainability, folding in the cutting edge of what we know into a creative practice that serves all life.

I love games, humid jungle travel, street food, the rock-climbing gym, and house music.
