About Me

Hi, I'm Jon Liu, a skilled Team Leader, Design Technologist, and Developer, and I'm passionate about solving real-world problems and creating things that people love to use. I’m great at building strong relatonships with key stakeholders and cross-department teams, while delivering high-fidelity production work grounded in data-driven research. I understand how to merge the needs of the business with advanced user experience principles to produce measurable results and delightful customer experiences.

With over 16 years of experience 10+ years in leadership, I thrive in the space between Leadership, Design, and Development and can easily float between these worlds, spending part of my day deep in the codebase solving problems and building new features and part of my day mentoring team members and collaborating with other team leaders. I am a fierce advocate for Accessibility and web performance.

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.
