Hello, I'm Jonathon.
Nice to meet you, I'm Jonathon.
A versatile software designer and product leader, currently based in Aotearoa New Zealand. I believe good design is the result of great synthesis, the right mix of technology, context, and desire.
For the past 15 years, I've worked across the organizational stack cultivating and leading teams, while designing and shipping products at innovative companies in Asia, Oceania, and North America.
In that time, I've built deep, hands-on expertise in product, brand and engineering, and learned how to bring those disciplines together to create products that matter.
Experience
Mentorship
Through both one-off and recurring sessions I help designers, product people and founders navigate challenges through practical, honest, actionable mentorship.
Projects
I believe designers should intimately understand the materials they work with. That’s why I love building things myself. Whether to explore new technology or just for fun.
Patents, Publications, Awards
Highlights from my career and education which have been picked up in the press, recognized with awards, or even patented.

Contact
I'm always keen to meet new people, learn new things and hear fresh perspectives. With that, I'd be happy to write back if you'd like to send me an email. Otherwise you can follow me on Twitter, BlueSky or LinkedIn.
