# About

Source: https://jonleverrier.com/about

I've been designing and building in sectors such as RegTech, EventTech and PropTech, for agencies, in-house teams and clients direct, whether on-site or remote from Bordeaux, France. I've been working with some clients for *more than 10 years*.

## How I can help

I can help across the whole project, from research and design right through to development.

I use AI to [get things into people's hands sooner](https://jonleverrier.com/notes/what-does-it-mean-to-be-an-ai-native-product-designer). That means a working idea in front of real users early, so their feedback shapes what I build.

### Startups

Getting from nothing to a prototype or MVP is the hard part, and that's where I'm most useful. I can do the design, the code and the thinking in between, and keep a room full of stakeholders happy.

### Organisations

I'll help you find what makes you different and tell that story so it could only be yours. Behind the scenes, I'll turn slow, manual processes into fast, automated workflows your competitors wish they had.

### Agencies

When a project needs a designer who codes, or a design engineer who thinks about users, I'm your man. I've worked with agencies my whole career, so I can get on with it on my own or slot straight into your team.

**Research**: I'll turn your ambitions into clear goals, plans and KPIs, built on what your customers actually need. This is where your strategy begins. (Competitor Analysis, Website Review, Personas, User Journey Mapping, Customer Journey Mapping)
**Branding**: Brand is what gets you buy-in from investors, from the people you work with, from customers deciding whether you look like a safe bet. I'll build you an identity that works wherever it ends up. (Logo Design, Style Guides, AI Tone of Voice)
**Design**: I'll guide you through a collaborative design process that solves real user problems - from how people find your content to a prototype you can test with real users. (Information Architecture, AI Context Design, Wireframing, UX Design, UI Design, Prototyping, Conversation, Trust & Consent Design)
**Development**: I'll break your designs down into optimised, accessible and maintainable code that serves your customers, and build the modern tooling that can replace outdated workflows. (Front-end, Creative Tooling, Design Systems, Craft CMS, DevOps, Technical SEO & AEO, Integrations)
