Howdy — I'm J.T. Trollman, a brand consultant and designer in San Francisco, California. I've had the great fortune to work in branding and UX/UI design with some great teams at places like IDEO LLC and Nokia Siemens Networks, and also to co-found a couple small start-ups like B4UGO and Shortrr along the way. If I'm lucky, I find the time to run my own projects in identity, print and web design. It's been a great road, and I've worked in the creative industry for nearly ten years now focusing on a breadth of ground work — both interaction and visual design, as well as experience in photography, copywriting, editing, project managing — before ending up here. In short: I'm very "Type A," and I have fun with it.

I'm a mash-up of West Coast upbringing and East Coast education, with a bit of travel and international mystery in between. After forming a principle background in journalism and communication design, I began working for content agency Future Plus' aptly-named parent company, UK-based Future plc, before moving to help Future Plus gain a foothold here in the US. That brand experience — coupled with my background in journalism — has allowed me a great deal of insight into how products and companies should approach their audiences.

Unfortunately I'm not accepting new work at the moment, but I always enjoy meeting new folk! Give me a holler.
