About

I’m a product and design leader with over 22 years of experience helping individuals and organizations turn ideas into impact. My career has spanned government, startups, corporates, and consulting, where I’ve led human centered design, product strategy, and service innovation. I’ve built and guided multi-disciplinary teams, designed research-led services, and shaped strategies that improved both customer and business outcomes.

As a mentor, I focus on supporting designers, researchers, product leaders, and startup founders who want to grow their skills and confidence. Whether you’re just starting out and looking for direction, stepping into leadership for the first time, or seeking to influence strategy at scale, I can help you clarify your goals and take practical steps forward. Mentees I’ve worked with value my blend of honest feedback, actionable tools, and the ability to connect design craft with real-world results.

If you’re ready to accelerate your growth, I’d love to hear your story. Share where you’re at and what you’d like to achieve, and we’ll explore how I can support your journey.

Jonathan is a kind, enthusiastic mentor who will do more than you ask. He gave hard-to-find guidance on a wide range of technical UX and product development topics. Most importantly, he gave practical tips on how to move to the next career stage - that I am currently implementing.
