Hi, I’m Jonathan Yap the designer who loves smiling and building strategic creative solutions by making beautiful print and digital designs.
From front end to website design & brand identity to poster design, it has been a pleasure to work with all these wonderful design projects.
View PortfolioBranding has always been my passion ever since my student days and I come to realised how closely people and brand are connected by their character. I build character based identity that encourage human interaction.
I am lucky enough to be blessed with a logical mind that plays well with technology enabling me the grow quickly as a front end developer. In order to enhance user experience, I make sure these digital designs are equally beautiful and functional.
Print is amazing to work on under the right condition, especially with good typography. I always feel more comfortable sketching ideas down on a piece of paper rather than diving straight into computers. Some of my best work were born this way.
I firmly believe in working with a design strategy, regardless of the medium I am working with.
My aim is to ensure all project solutions meet its objective and deliver a clear message to the audience. Therefore, I always plan and work objectively towards delivering creative solutions that will make an impact.
I am a London based Designer working on various project from branding and illustration work to digital design surrounding micro sites, Facebook apps, and the mobile apps on the iPhone & Android.
There is always a positive 'can do' attitude in me and I put on a smile as often as possible even in tough times to keep my spirits high. Keen interest in human interaction, social media, all things tech, and start ups.
Currently working in Techlightenment, a social technology company.

It is the essential to deliver the right message to the right people. A solid game plan is a road map to everything you need for success. Even the best players can be beaten when you execute a well-timed game plan.
I love working on presentations because I think its like putting up a good show. Having a good idea is important, but presenting it with good visuals will make so much more of an impact. This is where form meets function.
The reason I love my job so much is because work is sometimes play. Playing allows me to experiment and it sometimes open up a whole new perspective of creative ideas. So let the monkey out of its cage, its time to play!
