Selected Projects
Hi, I'm Jonathan, a Berlin-based developer and designer specialising in creating interactive websites and digital products.
G=TE is a platform for electronic music that connects labels and producers in a more music-first way. I took over full-stack development of the project in 2023 and have since helped shape the platform by improving its behind-the-scenes functionality, developing new features, and preparing it for beta and launch.


Planet Labs helps organisations make sense of a changing Earth through daily data and insights. During the build-up to the company’s IPO, I worked closely with the lead developer to design and develop targeted landing pages for different audience groups, helping shape a site that was responsive, polished, and ready for a high-profile launch.


Working with Studio Laucke Siebein, I developed an online bookshop for Produzentengalerie, a Hamburg-based art gallery, to help it reach a wider audience and sell its art book collection online. I built a custom checkout experience that fit the gallery’s visual identity and created a smooth, easy-to-use shopping flow.


Working with Moby Digg, a Munich-based design agency, I developed a new website for Gemeinnützige GmbH des Projektevereins, a non-profit organisation in Germany. The goal was to create a seamless user experience and make content management and communication with the audience more efficient.
Using WordPress as the content management system, we focused on building a mobile-friendly website with an emphasis on usability and visual clarity across devices. Subtle JavaScript and CSS animations were added to the site’s images to create a more engaging experience for visitors.


Working closely with All Codes Are Beautiful, I led development on a project for Wikimedia Deutschland aimed at encouraging volunteer participation in the world’s largest knowledge project. Through close collaboration with the design team, we created a solution tailored to Wikimedia Deutschland’s vision and built to be dynamic and easy to use.
The app's clear, intuitive interface matches volunteers with meaningful projects and supports Wikimedia Deutschland's goal of free knowledge sharing. It is currently used in the organisation's volunteer participation campaign, reaching a wide audience and helping advance its mission.


I collaborated with Worth Knowing Productions to develop the GCU Copyright Advisor, a tool that helps GCU staff and students navigate copyright issues in research and education. We structured the content as a simple, linked decision tree so users could quickly find the information they needed.
We also used Markdown files for content management, making the tool easier to maintain, share, and adapt under a Creative Commons license.


As part of a collaborative effort with AFKM, I led the development of an interactive single-page site for the Vasarely exhibition at the Städel Museum. The goal was to provide visitors with a unique online experience that reflected the exhibition's theme.
As the front-end developer, I created the website, carefully crafting UI effects and animations to enhance the overall user experience. The result was an immersive and visually appealing website for visitors to explore the artwork online.


As part of a collaborative effort with AFKM, I developed an interactive single-page site for the Tizian exhibition at the Städel Museum. Special attention was given to the typography, graphics and UI elements, ensuring they seamlessly complemented the artwork.
Emphasis was placed on optimising performance and ensuring cross-device compatibility. The final result was a multilingual site in German and English, providing visitors with access to high-quality content that was informative and visually engaging. The interactive features added depth and engagement to the site, enhancing the overall user experience and creating an interactive online exhibition for visitors to explore.


As part of a collaboration with AFKM, I led the development of a single-page site for the Wildnis exhibition at Schirn Kunsthalle. The exhibition explored the idea of wilderness in art, and our goal was to create an interactive and engaging site that aligned with the exhibition's theme.
To enhance the user experience, I incorporated animated UI effects, carefully crafted to provide a seamless online experience for visitors exploring the exhibition. The interactive features added depth and engagement to the site, allowing users to explore the artworks and the concept of wilderness in art in a unique and engaging way.


As part of a collaboration with Negative Labs, I helped develop a multilingual marketing website for GoHiring, a Berlin-based recruiting specialist and software company. Using an extensive component library, the design was tailored to the company’s branding, while I set up the backend and automated template integration to streamline the development workflow.


In collaboration with Negative Labs, I developed a user-friendly CMS for Hochbach, an international metal packaging trader, enabling the team to update its product portfolio in five languages and optimize it for mobile devices. Using WordPress ACF and WPML, I built a multilingual CMS and integrated it with a responsive front-end theme for a seamless experience across devices.


Working with Negative Labs, I developed the front end and back end for Merz Akademie – University of Applied Arts, Design and Media, Stuttgart. The site supports multiple languages, includes a detailed classification system, and features a tailored page builder for a smooth publishing experience. We also added advanced filters to improve browsing and help users explore more of the site's content.


Soothing Shade is an international photography and illustration agency. Working with Studio Krimm, I helped build an archive of the agency’s artists, with portfolio and news sections for each one. I also added a custom collection tool that lets users arrange images by drag and drop and export the result as a PDF.


I developed the Linternauta app in collaboration with designer Alisa Goikhman and the research team from the University of Salamanca. As part of a catalogue of educational resources used to promote educational innovation, this tool allows users to explore the cultural heritage of European visual culture through a curated selection of magic lantern slides.
The app uses a controlled vocabulary developed by the research team to classify the slides in the archive. This system allows users, ranging from novices to experts, to explore and enhance their appreciation of this unique form of visual storytelling.


Cash Analytics provides cash forecasting and reporting software to help users make informed decisions about their cash management strategy. Working closely with a UX designer, I was responsible for developing a new user-friendly and responsive interface for the software.
To achieve this, I utilised HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and jQuery to implement a UI featuring enhanced data visualisation and instant access to detailed information on specific areas of interest.


I collaborated closely with onlab, a Swiss graphic design studio, to create their portfolio website. I developed a custom backend and theme that showcased their diverse portfolio in a visually compelling way while ensuring it aligned with their functional requirements.
With a strong emphasis on responsive design, typography, and UI elements, the result was a professional website that effectively communicated onlab's creative vision and capabilities to potential clients.
