Hi, I’m Jason, a design strategist at Google (previously IDEO).
The through line of my career—which cuts across design consulting, startup accelerators, and marketing—is leading cross-functional teams to design, build, and launch innovative digital products.
I’m currently a Product Design Strategist at Jigsaw, a unit within Google that uses technology to make the world safer. Prior to Google, I spent 5 years at IDEO, where I co-founded and managed Last Mile Money, a global innovation portfolio with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation focused on connecting underserved communities to the digital economy.
Before that, I was Product Strategy Director at R/GA Ventures, the investment and innovation arm of digital agency R/GA, and partnered with 35 startups to build their products and brands. While at R/GA, I also led integrated product and marketing strategy for Fortune 500 clients including Samsung.
My team’s work has been recognized by a spectrum of design awards, including Cannes Lions, One Show, D&AD, Effies, Clio, and FWA.
I'm happiest when leading teams to do the best work of their lives, uncovering the human problem behind the business problem, and harnessing design and technology to solve complex systemic challenges.
