Hey, I’m Jared!

I’m friendly, fun, and love to travel. I care too much about too many things and have always loved creating experiences that people enjoy - both on and offline.

I’ve had my hand at 2 semi-successful small businesses and also run (unsuccessful) my own Groupon-esque tech startup in 2012. I’ve worked for advertising agencies (both local and international), and an e-commerce giant in South Africa - here’s my take on that experience.

Consulting as a product designer over the past few years, I’ve worked with a travel tech company based in SA serving clients on more than one continent; a B2B travel tech startup (which took me to Mauritius); consulted on 2 projects for the Unilever group, (which took me to Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Brussels); I helped lay the foundation for a Partner Program Directory tool, (user interviews, product road mapping, and V2 conceptual designs) a funded startup based in San Fransisco, built an e-commerce platform for a mature family run business in Cape Town, SA; redefined version 5.0 of an Estate Planning Tool seeking Series A out of Boston, MA and well, so much more.

I’ve had many titles and worn many hats - setting up and running as sole UX/UI/everything Designer; Product Strategist & Designer and even Digital Business Consultant, to help build mobile, desktop, and other applications for users from all around the world.

If you’re looking for someone that can bring way more than just what’s required to the table, any table - give me a shout.
