I work with you to define the strategies and processes that enhance experiences. Whether you are working to modernize the way you do training in the digital age or are looking to better understand your audience, I can help. I work closely with you and your teams to develop a comprehensive digital strategy that is tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Standards are necessary, but innovations require new standards.
I don’t just follow the standards, I've helped to make them. I wrote some of the first books on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (the languages behind all web designs) and have created, advanced, and innovated new ways to apply those standards in digital designs.
I bring that unique expertise to help you build your own digital strategy. I can help you enhance your value online, advise you on which products or services to trust, and push your ideas to their full potential.
Jason is an experienced design leader. He is passionate about catalyzing the creative growth of his colleagues and the broader community. I particularly appreciate the joy and humor he brings to his work. I've benefited tremendously from Jason's creative judgment and would love to collaborate with him again in the future.
MM, Innovation Lead
Jason is an amazingly knowledgeable designer, and takes great pleasure in teaching what he knows to others. As design lead I found him to be not only a good resource for direction and strategy as it related to my projects, but also for me personally as a designer. He's always eager to teach and offer advice, but he knows when to step back and let a designer trust his own instincts. That's an uncommon trait, and a welcome one.
TE, User Experience Designer
Jason certainly and repeatedly proved he has the ability to conceive and execute killer online user experiences. And what is most impressive about Jason is his clear role as a thought leader in the realm of Web standards. He firmly believes in technology and design elegantly coming together for consumers and is the real deal relative to how to leverage CSS and code to achieve excellence in the presentation layer.
PR, Digital Strategist & CEO
Jason develops strong, trusting relationships with different teams, and takes personal accountability to ensure that he provides high levels of project delivery and operational support. He has a balance of business and IT knowledge, understands business needs, and translates them into UI/UX world. Jason brings a warm, pleasant demeanor to his role, and is liked and respected by his teammates. I would highly recommend Jason as he is a great asset to any organization!
NG, Portfolio Manager
Jason has been a top rated speaker at many conferences and events. His ability to take concepts and ideas and relate them to a specific audience is a special gift and I look forward to seeing this capability blossom as he moves forward in his career. The fact that he is always working on the next book or workshop idea and following through on them is testament that Jason believes that our ideas are meant to be shared — a trait that will make any attendee, co-worker, company and industry all the better. I am happy that I've had the privilege to work with and get to know Jason and recommend that others do the some.
PE, Founder & CEO
Jason is an incredibly creative teacher who uses engaging and effective storytelling methods to convey important UX principles. Through the use of simple animations, I learned a lot about the art of storytelling and how to use it to create compelling user experiences. Additionally, Jason's course helped me improve my presentation skills, which has been invaluable in my career. Overall, I can confidently say that Jason is an outstanding instructor who has made a lasting impact on my understanding of storytelling and user experience design.
CS, UX Student
I would highly recommend Jason as a professor. The lessons he taught have stayed with me as I gone through my professional career, and I can't thank him enough for the opportunities he's provided.
PK, UX Student
I've had the pleasure of having Jason as a professor during my last year at Drexel. He taught a class on Storytelling and UX. The skills, methods and frameworks he shared with me were instrumental in getting my first few jobs after school. Two areas that really stood out to me were elements of storytelling and how we could create a compelling narrative arc, and how to create journey maps that could be valuable in the design process.
PK, UX Student
Jason and I had a great session! He listened to where I am at and provided two approaches for me to choose from. We did an exercise using design thinking to resolve my career problems. I look forward to seeing the outcome of this journey!
LL, Sr UX Designer
As a mentor Jason has provided invaluable insight for my career journey. Our sessions have helped me set career goals that are actionable and inspiring. His knack for asking effective questions and analytical approach to problem solving has helped me learn to clearly identify the most important factors in the work I want to pursue, and the steps I can take to arrive there.
AG, Visual Designer
Jason helped me define my objectives, and listened patiently. His structured approach and thoughtful questions made it feel like a true partnership. He took the time to understand my background and experience, making a concerted effort to know the kind of a person I am. It is a pleasure to have a mentor who is knowledgeable and kind :)
PB, Design Consultant

BC, Art Director
Jason is a superb mentor. He is experienced and professional, offering valuable insights, actionable advice, and incredibly helpful tips. His guidance has made a lasting, meaningful impact, particularly in helping me navigate my career path. I genuinely recommend him to anyone.
APR, Product Designer
Jason provided me with genuine feedback on my career path, and we had a great conversation about the design industry. His insights inspired me to explore design and technology further.
YH, Design Student
I am truly excited to have the opportunity to speak with such a mature professional as Jason! He answered my questions keenly, gave examples from his own experience and provided valuable insights. Absolutely recommend him as a mentor!
AB, Product Designer
Speaking with and conducting a mock interview with Jason has truly helped me feel more calm and confident. As a professional with decades of experience in the design industry, Jason offers me—a recent graduate from grad school—a refreshingly different and relaxed perspective. I recommend Jason to anyone who needs a boost of calm and confidence!
KJ, Architectural Student
Working with Jason has really helped me refine the language I'm using in my communications and to better sell my skills. I highly recommend Jason to anyone in the design field needing someone to riff with or receive direction from.
TS, Sr. UX Designer
Jason’s knowledge about the field is so vast, you can throw anything at him and he’ll hit you with a big list of well-thought out ideas. 45 minutes went by in a jiffy. He is incredibly articulate and as a junior designer, this is exactly the guidance I needed. I look forward to learning more from him.
TR, UX Designer
Jason's been awesome in helping me with my design portfolio. He looked at my work and gave me thorough feedback and really good advice on how to improve it. We also discussed salary negotiation and interview preparation as I'm currently in the job search. What truly sets Jason apart is his motivational approach. His encouragement and positive reinforcement have been a driving force. Jason's openness to discussing all facets of design creates a rich learning environment where ideas flow freely.
RA, Product Designer
Jason was amazing in many ways, but especially being receptive to the huge amount of questions I had and giving me great insight that only someone with his experience would have. I highly recommend doing a session with him, and I look forward to our next convo.
MD, Product Designer
I start by analyzing your organization and applying our experience to determine your needs and define your audience. Next, I evaluate the usability, accessibility, and appeal of your digital experience to define success for you.
Ithen provide a set of practical recommendations for changes and improvements you can act on immediately.
Where do you start when creating a new product or system? The big idea is just the beginning. Using Design Thinking techniques, I define and refine your needs, goals, and success metrics to guarantee you aren’t left saying, ""Well this isn't what I wanted!" when the product is launched.
I provide a range of conceptualization workshops and activities, so you can better define your ideas before design and development starts. This is critical to ensuring your vision holds true.
The end product is a fully thought-out proposal you can use to work with design and development teams to make your concept a reality.
I am not a full service design company, but I know a lot of companies that are and I keep tabs on the latest technologies.
Let us help you find the best fit for your project that will deliver the results you want within your budget. I have worked on both sides of the table, in agencies and as clients, meaning I can tell when sales is overpromising.
Roadmapping is a strategic process to map out and prioritize the project goals and initiatives. The roadmap is a living document that aligns, prioritizes, and communicates problems and how to find solutions. It is used to provide clarity and guidance to the team and stakeholders.
I make sure that the line between needs and success is as clear as possible, while also allowing for unforeseen obstacles.
Once a project starts, I will be with you to ensure audience needs are always heard. I will work closely with your project managers, product managers, designers, developers, and partners to provide clear and consistent guidance.
To update and upgrade digital technologies, processes, and systems first examine your current needs and desired destination. Our holistic approach to digital transformation looks beyond the screen to help you understand how the online and the real-life experiences of your audience work together.
Our transformation recommendations can be acted on immediately with the confidence that you will not be trying to solve the same problems again in a few years.
Jason provides over 30 years of technology, creative, and design industry experience and knowledge. He can help mentor, coach, and guide you through the often choppy waters of being a tech professional.
There is more to digital strategy than I can put on a single page. If you don’t see yourself here, but know you need help, set up a meeting with us so I can better understand exactly what you need and how (and IF) I can help you.
