About me

I design interfaces that feel obvious to use and quietly memorable. For eight years I have helped startups and studios turn tangled ideas into calm, well-crafted products, from the first sketch to the shipped release.

Away from the screen I sketch on paper, cook for friends and mentor early-career designers. I work best in small, curious teams that test ideas early. Expect clear updates, honest feedback and no surprises.

Services

Product design

End-to-end design for web and mobile products: discovery, user flows, wireframes and polished screens. You get developer-ready files, a clickable prototype and support through launch. Typical projects run 6 to 12 weeks.

Design systems

A shared library of components, colors, type and motion rules, documented so designers and engineers build the same thing. Includes Figma libraries, code-ready tokens and a short training session for your team.

Prototyping and motion

Interactive prototypes and micro-animations that let stakeholders feel an idea before it is built. I work in Figma, Framer and plain HTML/CSS, and deliver specs your developers can follow.

Research and strategy

User interviews, usability tests, product audits and workshops that turn vague goals into a clear roadmap. You receive a concise report with prioritized recommendations, usually within two to three weeks.

How I work

1. Listen

Interviews and audits to understand people and goals.

2. Frame

Turn findings into a clear problem and testable direction.

3. Prototype

Build interactive flows and test them early.

4. Ship

Hand off documented work and measure results.

Kind words

“Jordan turned our messy onboarding into something people actually finish. Clear thinking, calm communication, great taste.”

Amara Okafor, Head of Product, Lumen & Co.

“The design system Jordan built cut our back-and-forth with engineering in half. It is the first one our whole team uses.”

Daniel Reyes, Engineering Lead, Northfield Labs

“Thoughtful, fast and a joy to collaborate with. Every review came with a prototype instead of a promise.”

Mei Tanaka, Director, Paper Trail Studio
