Jon Akland (it’s me, hello!) is a lead designer / design leader with a knack for editorial product.

I make things that help people make things, and I thrive in places where smart people join forces to solve gnarly challenges.

I currently serve as associate director of product design at DockYard, where I contribute in three directions: managing people and overseeing client project teams, improving our design practice and culture, and supporting the company’s business development efforts. 

I occupy a hybrid position — I flex into project delivery roles when I’m needed in that capacity. I’m a relationship curator and a delivery accelerant.
