Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJack Upton is a web designer and front-end developer with 9 years of experience building user-focused websites and design systems across startups, agencies, and enterprise teams in Wellington. He blends design thinking and hands-on coding—confident in HTML/CSS and experienced with JavaScript, React, Node and Git—to take concepts from ideation and UX research through wireframes to production-ready designs. His background in Design Innovation with a Computer Science minor informs a pragmatic approach to usability testing and content-first planning, having led usability sessions and user interviews that directly influenced product decisions. At Waste Management he helped deliver a revamped site and a component-driven design system, and he’s continued that product-led approach at Tailgunner and on his own project, The Big Five personality test. Jack’s mix of design systems work, CMS UX improvements, and hobby projects (including games and self-built apps) shows curiosity beyond visual polish into scalable front-end solutions and emerging back-end skills.
