Hi, I'm Jhon Gray.
Designer + Diver + DJ + Dog Dad
Based in Austin, Texas, I’m a Product Design Leader with over 30 years of experience creating digital products for companies like Adobe, Shopify, Stripe, and Atlassian. My interest in how people interact with technology led me to study Human-Computer Interaction and Cognitive Psychology, including a semester abroad in the Netherlands.
I lead design for complex platforms and customer-facing products, working closely with product and engineering teams to shape strategy, guide roadmaps, and deliver experiences used by millions. I mentor designers, establish scalable design systems, and focus on solutions that are intuitive, user-centered, and grounded in measurable outcomes.
Outside of work, I enjoy mentoring young designers, exploring new cities, photographing street life, experimenting with music production, and spending weekends hiking or catching a live concert.
