Hi

My name is Jonas. I do a lot of things and have many interests. I conceptualize, execute and lead.

I am what some people call a Multipotentialite.

mul·ti·po·ten·tia·lite

“Multipotentiality is a term referring to the ability and preference of a person, particularly one of strong intellectual or artistic curiosity, to excel in two or more different fields.

Multipotentialites thrive on learning, exploring, and mastering new skills. We are excellent at bringing disparate ideas together in creative ways.

This makes us incredible innovators and problem solvers.”

— Emilie Wapnick

President, YieldStreet

Jonas is a passionate designer. He understands the intersection of design and business better than most product designers. He understands how to harness power of design, UI and UX to drive business goals. He laid the foundation for YieldStreet visual design and brand over the last 2 years. He pushes the boundaries to strive for perfection. Jonas is also very technical, so he can step in and do front end coding as well. I would work with him again anytime.

Jonas brings an energy and determination to his work that pushes those around him to want to be better and work harder. He is not afraid to challenge the status quo and question not just the team's work, but also his own. This is exactly the attitude that makes him an exceptional designer. Many times Jonas and I have disagreed on a solution and forged a path forward resulting in a much stronger end result.

He values user experience above all else and tirelessly improves his designs based on user feedback. He also has the software development chops to create what he designs.

Everyday I work with the guy I get to see more facets of his brilliant design thinking. He has singlehandedly delivered our iPhone app based on a design approach that focused on simplicity, quick thumb-navigation and delighter features. He has worked his way through more than 20 iterations of our latest budget module – not because I told him to, but because it was needed in order to achieve true simplicity and user experience...
