Jon Alderink
Senior UI/UX Designer and OOUX Certified Strategist with 15+ years untangling complexity for product teams. I bridge visual storytelling and systematic thinking to create interfaces that work the way people think.
Think in nouns before verbs.
Most design starts with the question "what should users do?" I start with "what things exist?" When you understand the objects in a system—their attributes, relationships, and behaviors—interfaces reveal themselves. You're not inventing; you're uncovering.
This approach, called Object-Oriented UX, has helped me deliver 8x faster feature throughput on enterprise platforms. It aligns teams, reduces rework, and creates experiences that match how users actually think about their work.
