What Jon Does
UX work
While I have crossed the fence over into leadership, I still try to keep my UX design chops up to date, and would be happy to give you a glimpse of my work and approach to design in general.
writing on Ux
Writing on topics relating to UX is a passion of mine, and one of the ways in which I give back to the UX community. Check out some of my articles, which have been published by UXmatters, UX Collective, and The Startup.
fiction writing
Yes, I realize I have a day job and I am fortunate to have one that I love. But, writing fiction has long been my outlet when I’m feeling creative or inspired. My short fiction has been published by the likes of Hellbound Books, Dark Dossier, and The Great Lakes Association of Horror Writers (GHOSTLIGHT).
My debut novel, The Towpath a time travel suspense thriller, is slated to be published in October of 2024 by Collective Ink. The novel’s title is inspired by the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park—which is where much of the story is set—and is about fourteen-year-old AARON PORTER finding himself in the crosshairs of a time-traveling killer and her band of warriors from the past. The Towpath is now available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes & Noble!
