Welcome to NeverDesign.net—The portfolio website of Jon De Araujo

Hi, my name isJon.
I'm aUX/UI Designer
and aFront End Developer

I create imaginative, thoughtful and accessible digital experiences.

Hi, I’m Jon—Director Interactive at Homewood Health, design leader and relentless problem‑solver. I lead a talented team of front‑end developers and designers, and collaborate closely with our mobile and internal platform teams to craft intuitive and accessible digital experiences. My background spans UX and UI design, web and mobile development, and team leadership. With 18 years industry experience, I’m just as comfortable refining a product vision as I am rolling up my sleeves to prototype or code. I believe in nurturing talent, fostering cross‑disciplinary collaboration, and turning complex challenges into elegant solutions that can be accessed by everyone.

My Role

My day to day involves overseeing, managing and being involved in almost all UX/UI development across the company. I spend my time designing, developing and testing and when I'm not doing those I am helping my team succeed or interacting with clients. I work closely with our marketing team and back end developer team to bring projects to life. The role is challenging and rewarding.

My accomplishments

Currently, I'm proud to be building a platform and tools to help people with mental heatlh and wellness. I helped create a totally custom tool to help individuals and families with Autism lead successful lives and advance in their careers and personal goals. Building a custom learning management tool encouraged me to approach site design and integration differently. As a part of a multi-disciplinary team, I've brought custom solutions for industries ranging from automotive to food and beverage, document compliance to hyper-local news and even a local business search engine.

In my current role I have brought about company wide change to implement and formalize the business processes involved in getting a project from concept to completion. I've been responsible for optimizing the tooling and development practices for front end, UX and UI development at the company. On top of this I have also been largely responsible for creating the front end infrastructure that allows MQ to successfully turn around custom systems for small, medium and large scale projects.

Need more details?

Most of the work I do in my current role involves creating both public facing and protected experiences and given the nature of those projects and sensitivity of client data I'm not able to publish a folio of designs online. Please don't hesitate to say hello for examples of work and more information.
