HI! I’M JON &
I DESIGN THINGS.

Well, I do more than that.

WHAT I DO

I help companies create thoughtful and empathetic products and experiences.

By leveraging the experience I've acquired over ten years and two careers, I consider when, where, and how the end-user will be using what I'm designing. Whether it was considering the construction workers when drawing structural details for engineering companies or designing an app to create wine at home.

 

HOW I GOT HERE

I spent the first ten years of my career in engineering as a draftsman, creating structural details and construction plans.

In 2017 I shifted my focus to design, earning my degree from Middlesex Community College and landing a role at Gensler, where I cut my teeth in their Branding & Lifestyle studio, designing signage and wayfinding systems.

In 2021, I joined the team at Brewsy as their Lead Graphic Designer. I immediately began working on improving the customers' journey and experience through print and digital design work and developing the brand to better tell the story of how Brewsy is changing the way people consume wine and fermented goods.
