Jon Liu
About Me
Hi, I'm Jon Liu, a highly-skilled Design Technologist, UX Designer, Software Engineer, and technology enthusiast with more than 15 years of experience solving real-world problems and building new things that people love to use.
I do some of my best work in the space between Designers and Engineers and can easily float between both worlds, spending part of my day deep in the codebase solving hard problems and building new features or cruising through Figma wireframes building mockups. I am a fierce advocate for web performance and site optimizations and have been the leader in Core Web Vitals optimizations.
I also run ushi agency, a full-service web consulting agency dedicated to helping you make your website better.
I am based in Denver, Colorado.
