Jon Ross

From September 2019 to May 2020, I will be part of an amazing group enrolled in the PENN Executive Program for Social Innovation Design (XSD)

I am a passionate and highly-trained user experience interface designer plus developer with a track record of innovative thinking and creative problem-solving for a wide variety of clients, industries and work environments.

I began my design career as a student of architecture at SCI-ARC in Los Angeles. I then chose to do my final year as an independent study for a bachelors degree in Design Science, a field of study invented by Buckminster Fuller, who also directed my studies. I eventually started a career in the field of information technology as a desktop technician, then to system and network administration, to front-end web development and recently user interface / user experience design.

I have recently authored an article sharing my experience as a student of architecture and how it influences my work as a UX/UI designer.
"UX Design, UI Design and Software Development" on LinkedIn.

I am a serious fan of "eco-friendly ANYTHING" and the proud owner of a fascinating intelligent electricity-powered transportation machine - a Tesla Model 3!

I am also a volunteer presenter for the Climate Reality Project, a non-profit organization involved in education and advocacy related to climate change.

In summary, I am certain that I will be a key part of your software engineering team's effort to develop leading-edge interactions and interfaces to your websites, web apps and native applications.

Leading-edge design thinking is what I do!
