Jonathan Haggard—A New Media Designer based in San Francisco

Quick Brief

With over 6 years experience ranging from studio photography, campaign art direction, interface design and variable-based sites I have a firm understanding of how different pieces can come together to create a memorable experience.

I practice strong design fundamentals in every project I approach to arrive at the most ideal solution, whether it's a landing page or a major update to a brand. What really gets me excited is to solve a problem in an elegant and beautiful way.
