Hi, I am Jonathan

I design products that ship. Less guesswork, fewer wrong turns.

I've spent 12 years learning that the best product decisions come from real data, not room consensus. I help teams get something in front of users fast, then build on what actually works.

About

I've spent 12 years building products across startups and enterprise, enough to know that the best design decisions are rarely about design alone. I've worked in founding teams where I was the only designer, and in enterprise where aligning ten stakeholders was part of the job. In both, the most important work happens before a pixel is touched. Understanding what's driving the people in the room, figuring out what to build first, getting something real in front of users fast, and building on what actually works.

From the people I've worked with

“Jon is a talented and innovative designer whose thoughtful approach and professionalism have made a significant impact on our Consumer Experience initiatives. His ability to collaborate seamlessly with global, cross-functional teams has helped shape internal tools that integrate AI and UX best practices, supporting Sanofi’s Digital Ambition to shorten the time between discovery and therapy. With a keen eye for design and a natural ability to inspire, Jon fosters a collaborative and inclusive environment, ensuring every project benefits from his expertise and dedication. His creativity, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence make him an exceptional Product Designer.”

Jesse Alvarez

Sanofi · Head of Product Design and Consumer Experience

“I cannot overstate the amazing impact that Jon had on Alpakas - he made our product and organisation radically better. He established a high flexible design-system, pushed out challenging new features and made them intuitive for our user base. He works highly independently and shows complete ownership of his work. He takes pride in what he does and the final results show it clearly. Aside from strong product design skills (and the occasional help in all other things design) he was a wonderful team member and a joy to work with. I can wholeheartedly recommend him for any high-performance organisation, especially in early and mid-stage where high fidelity outputs need to be delivered at a rapid pace. John is AAA and a 100% recommendation to hire and work with <3”

“As a leader it’s important to have true experts in your team. Jon is one of them, he is able to streamline design systems in fast pace environments, able to develop new customer flows in close collaboration with engineers and pm’s leading to high quality output as well as maintaining design guidelines across different departments. It was a pleasure to work with you and hope to see you again in the future.”

“Jon came to support us at GYG at short notice, and onboarded into an existing team quickly. The quality of his design work was always very good, and he adapted to the scope of our projects incredibly well. I would highly recommend working with Jon, and hoping we have the opportunity to work together again in the near future.”
