About Me

 
 
 

I’m a curious, self-driven product designer who’s been crafting experiences, studying users and working with cross-functional teams to deliver elegant solutions for a while now.

Coming from an analyst background and collaborating with amazing designers in a creative-adjacent role, I’ve garnered a deep skillset in sales, marketing, research, UX design, project management and presentations.

It’s incredibly fulfilling to connect the dots between business goals, technical constraints and user satisfaction.

These days, you can find me contributing to a better digital experience for users at the Ontario Government. When I’m not working, you'll find me in a sports discussion, exploring cuisine, binging shows or trying different board games!

 
 

Always Learning

Joseph Tamunotonye

Senior Manager Principal Product Designer

“It is my pleasure to recommend Jason for any product design position. In my experience working with him at The Bay, I have been impressed by his willingness to listen, engagement with other team members, and commitment to creating intuitive, user-friendly products. A strong understanding of user-centered design principles and excellent communication skills enables Jason to translate customer needs into effective solutions. Conducting user research, creating wireframes and prototypes, and iterating on design feedback are some of his notable skills. He would be an excellent addition to any team and will be able to excel in any product design position he is given.”

 
 
 

Morgane Lashkari

Lead UX Researcher

“I really enjoyed working alongside Jason on the UX team at Staples. I had the opportunity to work on the cart and checkout experience where he applied the findings from our user testing to designs. When faced with challenges in projects, he approached them in a positive manner which made him a valuable team member during crunch times. The work he presented was carefully crafted to balance customer needs, research feedback, business requirements, and project timelines. Jason’s work ethic, positivity, and value for customer-centricity makes him an exceptional designer that any team would be lucky to have!”

Marisa Baratta

Content Design Strategist

“Jason is one of the nicest people I've worked with. He is always kind, always supportive and very uplifting. When we worked together on a massive content audit, he was super encouraging, supportive and understanding all the way, and when discussing ideas, he always replied in a way that showed he's open-minded and gentle in his feedback. I really appreciate the support and understanding and the teamwork!”
