Hello I'm Jon, a product designer based in Norwich, England.
My passion for digital design, combined with my background in branding, graphic design and entrepreneurship means that I have a unique approach to creating compelling intersections between brand, business and UX.
I'm using my wealth of experience (I’ve been a musician, street food chef, and a stage engineer so far!) to build products people love.
Whether it’s uncovering the needs of the user via research, making data driven decisions, or designing products that fulfil user needs, I love every step of the product design journey.
01 Skills and tools
The most important skill for me as a designer is being able to have that curiosity, to explore, and learn independently or as part of a team. Being able to learn things quickly is crucial as new technologies change how we think about design. Not only how it's applied, but also the implications of what new technologies can do for better or worse for people.
I'm an avid learner. It’s important to me to find time to learn and practice, and to find the space to be able to fail and fail thoughtfully. I am a big fan of blocking out time for that deliberate practice and learning. These are just some of the skills and tools I have learnt so far.
