Building products that scale with clarity and trust crafted with AI.
how I create leverage through design
I design systems that connect user needs, business strategy, and product execution. Leveraging AI and modern tooling, I move from idea to working solutions quickly focusing on clarity, scalability, and building products that perform, adapt, and compound over time.

Lead end-to-end product strategy across B2C & B2B ecosystems
Define scalable patterns, flows, and behaviors—not just interfaces
Use AI to rapidly explore, validate, and evolve product concepts
Ensure consistency and quality across complex, multi-surface systems
2. building for growth, not features
Design for activation, retention, and network effects from day one
Identify high-leverage opportunities across the product funnel
Use data, experimentation, and AI to inform and iterate decisions
Align product strategy with scalable growth and business outcomes
3. architecting for scale & speed
Build systems that enable fast iteration without sacrificing quality
Leverage AI + modern tooling to move from idea to prototype quickly
Anticipate edge cases, states, and system behavior at scale
Create foundations that support long-term product evolution
4. shaping product, brand, & perception

About me
I’m a product designer focused on building systems that connect UX, business strategy, and execution. I’ve led end-to-end design across B2C and B2B platforms shaping scalable design systems, aligning teams, and driving products from concept to launch.
Today, I work at the intersection of product, design, and AI, using modern tooling to move from idea to working solutions quickly. My focus is on creating clarity, increasing velocity, and building products that scale, not just in interface, but in behavior, performance, and growth.

What My PEERS Say
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to work with inspiring leaders and talented designers. Here are some of their reflections on my contributions, leadership, and craft.
Jonathan is one of those rare designers with the unicorn skills of both User Experience and beautiful UI Design. On top of that his professionalism and dedication makes him an asset to any team. He keeps on top of design trends, and has an eye towards the future of the space. His technical skill and knowledge of the tooling is robust, and best of all he is excited and excellent at sharing that skillset and his ideas leveling up the whole team. His passion for the space and his work is infectious, and I hope I have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.
Lauren Schaefer
Director of User Experience
Jonathan is truly one of the greatest designers I have had the pleasure to work with in my career. He always brings a unique perspective to a challenging design problem and has the drive to push for what's right to benefit the user. He has a hunger to continually learn and improve. I have personally seen his growth in UX while improving daily on his strong UI skills. He is a wonderful person to work with and someone who has grown into a more than a coworker, but a close friend. He is a valuable member of any team and will push others to grow around him.
Christian Rossi
Staff Product Designer
I’ve had the privilege of working with Jonathan at Nearpod, first as a colleague, and then under his direct management. He was one of the reasons I joined the company. Being a member of the South Florida design community, I had witnessed his impressive design skills, was well aware of his stellar reputation, and wanted to learn from the best. Jonathan excels in both an IC capacity, and as a UX leader. He strives for excellence, and fosters a positive and collaborative workplace culture. I've seen him lead user interviews and usability testing, and effectively communicate with teams across different functions like product management and engineering. On top of that, his UI design and animation skills are impeccable.
