Hi, I'm Jon Arnold.
I've been a UX designer for over 28 years, since before most people had heard that term.
Along the way I've done user research, interaction and visual design, front-end development, and all things creative for more web apps than you can shake a stick at.
These days most of my energy goes into my own product, CameraSim Classroom: an interactive 3D platform for photography teachers and their students. I design and build it myself, from the 3D environments to the full-stack app, and it's where I practice the evolving workflows for shipping software in the age of AI.
My trusty toolbox:
- Blender
- Substance Painter
- Unity
- BabylonJS
- Three.js
- Figma
- Photoshop
- Premiere
- After Effects
- TypeScript
- React
- Next.js
- Tailwind
- Supabase
- AWS
- Vercel
- Stripe
- Kit
- Claude Code
When I'm not at a keyboard for work, I'm at one onstage most weekends: I play keys and guitar (and a little harmonica) in a country cover band doing late-night bar gigs. It's great music and even better people-watching.
I still take select consulting work. If you need help with something interesting, let's talkCopied!.
