Jordie Knowles
Product Designer & Developer
Hi, I'm Jordie.
I create digital tools that help people do more with the resources they have.
Here's some of my recent work:
As the product designer of Haystack, I worked to bring the exchange of contact information into the 21st century.
Roles
- Product designer: Android, iOS, Web apps (B2B, B2C)
- Front-end web developer: Web apps (B2B, B2C)

A bit about me.
I've always most enjoyed doing things that are both creative and technical. I love Lego. I've made a video game. Ultimately though, I find it more satisfying to make tools than toys.
To do that, I've developed a skill set that includes UX, UI, and front-end dev - all the ingredients required to make a product that works for its users.

- User journeys & flows
