Pleased to meet you!

Heya, I’m Jon, and I like movies, Red Vines, thrifting for vintage paper ephemera, and tackling design challenges with empathy and creativity.

I’m a freelance product and visual designer in Chicago, collaborating with small businesses and nonprofits while balancing user needs, business goals, and technical constraints.

Previously, I worked at an agency where I researched, strategized, and crafted user-centered digital experiences.

I’ve made technology feel human through thoughtful branding, copywriting, and scalable design libraries for companies in Fintech and health/wellness spaces.

I was a print designer before my foray into product design, first for an agency in Nashville, then in Chicago, where I worked as a packaging designer, developing in-store displays and packaging for national retailers such as Target and Kohl’s.

The thread that runs throughout my 10+ year career is my love of crafting experiences—whether it’s frictionless onboarding for an app or a retail display for men’s fashion accessories.

Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn, follow me on Instagram, or email me and tell me your favorite movie.
