About Jon
A lead product designer for fintech platforms, digital applications and brand identities. I make complex things clear, easy to use and beautifully crafted.
With over 20 years of experience in design, I’ve worked across a wide range of projects, from advertising campaigns for O2 and Coca-Cola to building design systems and trading applications for Cargill, bp and LSEG.
For the past decade, I’ve specialised in enterprise product design for capital markets, working closely with traders, analysts and engineering teams to turn complex, data-heavy workflows into intuitive interfaces. My background in agency design means attention to detail and visual quality are always part of the process.
Based in Richmond, West London. Usually found on a road bike somewhere hillier than planned, or walking my miniature dachshund.
