I'm Jonathan Cohen, a London-based Senior Creative Designer with over a decade of experience crafting high-impact visual content in fast-paced, tech-driven environments. From global cybersecurity firms to innovative startups, I’ve led and executed digital design projects that range from complete website overhauls to intuitive UI/UX systems, always with a user-first mindset.
Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated cross-functionally with marketing, product, and brand teams to bring bold, consumer-centric ideas to life. Whether it's launching responsive web experiences, designing for motion and interaction, or building consistent brand systems across platforms, I focus on design that performs — visually and strategically.
With a background in both graphic and interaction design (M.A. from the Royal College of Art and a B.A. from Bezalel Academy), I combine creative vision with practical execution. I thrive on problem-solving, pushing pixels with purpose, and helping brands connect with their audience through smart, scalable design.
