Hi, I'm Jonathan. 👋🏻
I’m passionate about applying a user-centered approach to creating digital experiences that are intuitive, accessible, and a pleasure to use to achieve business goals. With a background in web development I can appreciate the technical feasibility of implementing designs and will bring that expertise to a design team.
Working directly with designers on cross-functional run-teams in the past I have found myself more interested in answering the question of why rather than the question of how.

Hobbies and Interests
Baseball
I’m a fan of baseball and have made it a goal to see a game at all 30 ballparks. I've been able to catch games in a few different cities so far.
Running
What started out as simple cardio exercise has turned into a love (affair) for running races.
K-Dramas
I enjoy watching Korean dramas and variety shows. 저는 한국어를 공부고 있어요. (I’m studying Korean.) For the past few years I have been casually studying and learning Korean. I built Hangul Tools → to help my classmates and me practice.
Hiking
I like to get out, travel, and explore.
