JON CRABB
UX Designer / Writer / Editor
HELLO
I am a UX designer, writer and editor, based in London.
I think working across several domains makes me better at solving problems and, ultimately, a better designer.
I like to explore ideas by writing about them and have written about an eclectic mix of topics.
You can check out my UX portfolio below, and more info on my books a bit further down the page.
Is generalism > specialism? It certainly has its advantages...
If you’re interested in learning more about my UX work, my writing, or anything else, just send me an email.
I'd love to hear from you!
UX PORTFOLIO
Have a read of my project case studies.
They cover research, personas, UX, UI, app, and web.
