Designer, developer, and
perpetual tinkerer.

I'm Jordan Ellis โ€” a freelance designer and front-end developer with 8 years of experience helping brands, startups, and agencies build products that look exceptional and work flawlessly.

I believe great design is invisible. When it's working, users aren't thinking about the interface โ€” they're achieving their goals. That philosophy drives everything I make.

Based in Austin, TX. Available worldwide.
