About Me

Jason Melgoza

Growing up, I spent most of my time drawing — sketchpad in hand, endlessly inspired by the comic books stacked at my desk. I was drawn to the work of illustrators like Jim Lee and Todd McFarlane — artists who understood that great visuals and great storytelling go hand in hand. That passion led me to earn a degree in Art and Design from Fresno State.

During my time there, my curiosity shifted toward technology. I discovered authors like Jeffrey Zeldman and Dan Cederholm whose books and websites opened a new door — one that led me to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and eventually my first website.

Today, I bring that same intersection of craft and curiosity to product design — building intuitive interfaces and the design systems that power them.
