About Jon Gordon
I am a UX Lead with over 15 years in the art and design industry. I discovered my passion for art direction and user-centered design through my first job as a photographer and photo retoucher, which quickly led to my first opportunity as an art director. Since then, I have served in various roles within the creative industry, including as photo editor and digital capture technician for high-profile clients, as well as a UX designer and consultant. I have managed multiple art and design projects and continue to develop innovative design solutions and compelling brand and customer experiences in the digital e-commerce industry.In my current role as a UX Lead, I work on the team that led the end-to-end redesign and replatforming of the customer-facing website. I developed wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and animated prototypes that were used in the final design of the website. I continue to lead and support design projects for feature enhancements, such as the website’s chat feature and custom webpages, as well as improvements for overall usability. In this role, I act as a user advocate for the best and most intuitive user experiences, and I am proud to have implemented our company’s user research program to further drive production and enhancements based on direct user feedback. I conduct usability testing sessions and perform data analysis, turning the results into affinity maps and relevant reports for executive leadership, which in turn directly impact UX changes for the website.I enjoy both the analytical and the creative sides of my career, leveraging user analytics to drive innovative and intuitive user experiences. I am most fulfilled when my user research and competitive analysis comes together to support a new product design or feature enhancement, driving development by bridging the gap between user needs and business goals. Throughout my experience, I have become skilled at collaborating cross-functionally, developing interactive concepts, and turning user data into valuable recommendations that support organizational goals through user-centered approaches and practices.Key Strengths: UI & UX Design | User Research | Art DirectionLet’s connect!
