Freelance Design Director & Certified Coach
Hello, I’m Jason
I’ve been designing, directing, and helping people get unstuck for over two decades. I’m a U.S.-born, Amsterdam-based Design Director and Certified Co-Active Coach who brings creativity, empathy, and strategy to every project. My approach combines deep listening with design thinking to uncover hidden insights and get to what matters most.
Whether I’m embedded in a team or guiding a solo founder, my mission is always the same: help you connect with the people you’re trying to reach through design and technology.
I’ve worked with Fortune 500 companies, innovative startups, and social initiatives — including ECCO Shoes, Booking.com, Sears, Helene Curtic-Sauve, Polycom, and Motorola, as well as Arugga AI Farming, RespiQ, and For The Right Reasons.
Through my coaching practice at www.belongproject.com, I also support creative individuals in finding clarity, confidence, and momentum in their personal and professional lives.
