About Jonathan Simcoe

In 2018 I coined a phrase in my Twitter bio that has more or less «stuck»:

Futurist, with reservations.

I love technology and am an optimist about tools and process than can help humanity grow. I’m also cautious and believe that we need to be careful about our technological tool-making to ensure they truly help humans flourish for future generations. I’ve also re-kindled a love for poetry, reading, philosophy, and how these intersect with a deep trust in God through life’s peaks and crevices.

Writing

I am passionate about writing about design, technology, and the creative process. My articles have been featured in publications like Medium, UX Collective, and Dwell. I also write on Substack about technology, design, craft, and the intersection of tools and Internet culture.

Photography

When I'm not designing or writing, you can find me exploring the Pacific Northwest with my camera. I'm particularly drawn to architectural photography, documenting makers, or exploring the contrast of the rawness of nature with human inputs.

Colophon

This site originated from Read.cv's custom profile layouts. I have preserved it's functionality, improved in places to suit my needs, and migrated it to a fully static Next.js site hosted on Vercel. Typography for all of the pages and Open Graph images is set in Simcoe Gothic. Open Graph images are generated dynamically with Vercel OG Image Generation.

Get in Touch

I'm always interested in connecting with other creatives. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to collaborate, discuss design, or just say hello.

You can find me on Twitter, Medium, or email me directly.
