Hi, I'm Jon and I'm a builder. 

Over the course of my 15-year career in management consulting and technology companies, I've built teams, I've built processes, I've built products, and I've built businesses (the 10-figure kind). I'm at my best when I'm in a role with scope and significance, and my superpower is consistency.

Some things I'm GOOD at include dealing with ambiguity and making good decisions in fast-paced, uncertain environments. Some things I'm *GREAT* at include obsessing over customers and developing my people.

Follow me here on LinkedIn if you want to hear my thoughts on Amazon, building great teams, or the current state of Chicago sports.

Co-Founder and Creative Director

My journey began with helping my husband's Amazon brand flourish through meticulously curated listings. My main job to drive conversions included:
​
· Ensuring all images align with our brand guidelines.
· Conducting A/B testing with white background images.
· Testing different styles of product images on both listing images & A+ Content.
· Incorporating all the keywords in A+ Content.
· Aligning titles and descriptions with the imagery.
· Keeping the storefront up-to-date and creating seasonal banners.

As our efforts aligned, life introduced me to a new adventure—discovering my talent in graphic design. Over the past three years, this journey has become my passion. I now collaborate with creative agencies, copywriting experts, and individual Amazon sellers, enhancing their market presence.
