ABOUT
Hey there, welcome to my little corner of the Internet!

This is where I'm supposed to tell you more about me so here goes:

I was an early employee (11th) and founding designer of ThoughtSpot, a $4.2B company currently making strides in the business intelligence space and — words on the streets — soon to IPO.

Since then I have been working on a bunch of different problems with companies of all sorts and sizes. From the design agency ueno, where I got to help seed stage startups like Tekion and Mux — both today unicorns — to Facebook, where I got to help ship its first global payment service to compete with Apple Pay and such.

I most recently helped launch NetSpring as employee #7 and founding designer. It is currently in Series A with a total funding of $17.7M and already counting multiple Fortune 500 customers using our product to help them run some of their critical missions. So you may hear more about them in the future.

I'm currently tipping my toes into the AI/ML space as employee #5 and founding designer of another startup, likely to launch sometime in 2013.

I also enjoy doing more experimental work during my free time, you can check some of my latest here.

When I'm not designing, you can either find me spending (probably a bit too much) time on Twitter or watching the latest cool tv show. My last favorite was Severance on Apple+.

I'm always open to a great opportunity so if you're looking for a design partner, you can reach out here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Jonathan’s been a pleasure to work with. He worked as the sole developer on Checkmark 1 and Circles for us at Snowman, and always delivered on his promises. He works quickly and efficiently. Jonathan isn’t an order taker – he’s the kind of guy that chimes in with his own great ideas, and fights for great design. Not only are his development skills incredible, but Jonathan is also a great designer. He’s careful about every last pixel and every last detail. He’s the kind of guy you can just trust to get the job done right – the first time

Shikhar Agarwal

Co-founder and CTO, Spotnana | Founding Engineer, ThoughtSpot

Jonathan is the best designer that I have ever met - no doubt about it. He single handedly designed the entire UI, including wireframes, interactive designs, graphics, icons, etc of the ThoughtSpot product. ThoughtSpot is a data visualization and analytics company with Tableau as the main competitor. Now, Tableau is famous for it's beautiful and intuitive dashboard and UI - and Jonathan's task was to beat Tableau in UI - which he did - alone! He not only designed the entire product UI, but also the website UI, etc. I was the frontend engineer working with him, and he used to patiently explain me his design decisions, thought process - and would also listen to my feedback and would positively act on the real take aways. He used to work late nights, giving more than 100% to work, and it's not a surprise that today ThoughtSpot is worth more than a billion dollar and is known for its UI - Jonathan started when ThoughtSpot was less than 10 people with zero revenue! He cares about user interaction, adoption, and does not rest until the design is pixel perfect. I can go on and on!

Shailesh Chauhan

Founding PM, ThoughtSpot | Ex Uber, Amazon

Jonathan and I partnered on the very first versions of ThoughtSpot and he helped us come up with a great product in record time. Jonathan is an ingenious designer who is constantly striving to be more creative in his designs and more efficient in every task. His ability to produce large volumes of high-quality designs is remarkable. As a Product Manager, I have worked with few designers who are as low-maintenance as he is. I would definitely work with Jonathan again and always look for opportunities to get him involved in my projects when it makes sense. He is super fun to work with and above all, a great human being.

Joy Dutta

‍Founding Engineer at ThoughtSpot

Jonathan is the most incredible UI designer I have worked with so far. His designs consistently blew our minds. I will give him the highest possible recommendation.
