Hey! I’m Jonathan Jarvis.

I’m an entrepreneur, designer and filmmaker.

I’m building something new! Hoping to make animation much easier and more fun.

In the meantime, check out my latest film — The Changing World Order with Ray Dalio.

And my new game — Tug-o-Wobble — the game of balance and fun for everyone!

I also run Universal Patterns — a company the makes products, stories and plans in technology, politics and finance.

Before that I worked at Google for a long time, where I designed and launched many new products and features with the Machine Learning, Search, Android, Workspaces, Apps, and Jamboard teams. I pitched, designed and led the new Google Brand Identity & Logo system, and created several global marketing campaigns with the very cool Creative Lab team.

I also led digital advertising for the political tech firm Hawkfish for the 2020 presidential campaign cycle.

And before that I started a few companies: Token — an A.I. assistant , and The Jarvis Group — a studio with the mission to explain complex social concepts clearly and objectively.


I love boring things like economics and history. I made a film about how the economy works, how the 2008 financial crisis happened (which was exhibited in MoMA 🙌), how the European debt crisis came about, and helped put together some principles for success. I’d like to make many more someday.
