Jonas Downey, designer of interfaces, writer of words, maker of pancakes.

Hello!
My name is Jonas.

I’m a product designer at Basecamp in Chicago. I’ve been happily working on ideas and interfaces for Basecamp since 2011.

I also made Hello Weather and Emojisaurus with some good friends.

Sometimes I write short articles on my blog Boxes and Words and at Signal v. Noise.

I also make websites, art, and physical objects. Here are a couple selected works.

Sometimes I collect links to interesting things. You should check ‘em out!

(There's a lot more on my Pinboard.)

Please note: I’m not available for new freelance or full-time work, but I am interested in speaking engagements and fun side projects.

Thanks for visiting — see you next time!
