A little more about me...

I live in Northern Virginia with my wife and two pups. I can’t think of anything that makes me happier than helping others.

What I’m all about

  • I treat every person I encounter with the kindness and empathy they deserve.
  • I approach products with an inclusive mindset; we should empower our users, no matter what their physical or mental limitations may be!
  • Equality for all human beings is important to me.
  • Designing beautiful experiences that solve meaningful problems for users...or leading phenomenal designers to accomplish the same!

What I am absolutely NOT

  • I’m not interested in working with folks who aren’t respectful to others. Being a good human being is so simple.
  • I’m not interested in working with teams who insist on leveraging dark design patterns. Do better.
  • I’m not a micro-manager. I build trust in my creative teams, and coach them along the way. I firmly believe that micro-managing is, in almost every case, a sign of a failed process.

Recent work

Most of my recent full-time work has been at the management and leadership level, but I still design every single day outside of work.

For additional portfolio pieces, please reach out and I’m more than happy to provide more samples.

Let’s chat

I love meeting new people and working on exciting things. You can reach me via LinkedIn or by emailing hello@jaj.io
