Resume
Jonathan Siegert
I am a UX engineer merging visual precision with front-end code.
I champion scalable design systems, craft accessible interfaces, and am currently shaping my dream backpacking app.
Skills & Expertise
Core Skills
I'm a Figma power user, passionate about creating scalable and maintainable design systems using components and atomic design principles. My workflow is built around efficiency and collaboration, allowing me to rapidly prototype and iterate on complex UI/UX challenges. I'm proficient in all aspects of Figma, from creating pixel-perfect UI elements to building interactive prototypes and managing design libraries.
Beyond Figma, my core skills include:
- User Research & Analysis
- Conducting interviews, surveys, usability testing, and data analysis to inform design decisions.
- Interaction Design (IxD)
- Crafting intuitive user flows, wireframes, and prototypes.
- Visual Design (UI)
- Creating visually appealing and consistent interfaces that align with brand guidelines.
Inspired By
I draw inspiration from a variety of sources, including the clean lines of modernist architecture, the organic forms found in nature, and the innovative user interfaces of companies like Apple and Google.
I'm also a big admirer of designers like Dieter Rams, for his emphasis on simplicity and functionality, and Don Norman, for The Design of Everyday Things and the classic Norman-Doors-Design-Foible.
Currently Learning
I'm always seeking to expand my skillset. Currently, I'm diving deeper into advanced animation techniques with Rive, exploring the possibilities of generative AI in the design process, and furthering my knowledge on Design Tokens.
Work Experience
With a foundation in digital printing, I transitioned my eye for detail and user understanding into the realm of UI/UX design.
