About Jason
I’ve been a long-time practitioner of web design and development, having first gotten involved with the industry in 1994. Over the years I’ve led projects ranging from Ivy League and High Tech to the NFL and America’s Cup from both creative and technical roles. My focus on digital strategy has been a natural outgrowth of that synthesis of technology and design.
After years of having my love affair with type stymied by the likes of font tags, SIFR, and Cufon, the advent of @font-face and the launch of Typekit gave new life and avenues of exploration. Since 2010 I’ve been researching and writing on typography for the web and digital platforms: I’m author of Responsive Typography from O’Reilly, articles for .Net Magazine, PRINT Magazine, HOW, Typecast Blog, Fonts.com, and more. I’m also a frequent podcast guest, having appeared on The Web Ahead, Boagworld, Non-Breaking Space, Front End Nerdery, Design Huddle, and others. An experienced speaker and workshop leader, I have presented at dozens of national and international conferences on the subjects of web typography, responsive design, and design strategy & process.
An avid road cyclist and reformed full-time competitor, I still grapple with the eternal question “if it’s not on Strava, did it really happen?”
The real story: mainly I just follow Tristan and Tillie around Turner Reservoir, posting photos on Instagram.
