About

Hello! I’m Jag Talon. I’m working at DuckDuckGo (since 2014!) to help show the world that privacy is simple. I started as a frontend developer at first, but now I’m working as a full-time designer.

I also ran a frontend-focused podcast called Friends Talk Frontend with my buddy Katherine in the past. It’s where we talked to amazing people about their habits, how they got to where they are now, and what their day-to-day life is like.

I was also lucky enough to be interviewed on the Codepen Podcast about work and how I got myself into CSS. I was nervous, but it ended up going well!

You can e-mail me at jag@jagtalon.com if you’d like to say hi. If you’re interested in more personal updates, you can visit my even more personal blog.

Work

Simplified Chrome & Firefox Extension

We simplified the DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials extension to improve comprehension and hierarchy. We also worked on supporting dark mode! You can find this on Dribbble as well.

New Homepage

We worked on the design with Matt Anderson on creating the new homepage layout for DuckDuckGo. Desktop background is from Unsplash, the desktop mockups from Facebook Design, and the Safari mockup is from the Figma Community. This is also on Dribbble.

Report Broken Site

I got to work on the design for reporting broken sites on iOS, iPadOS, Android, and desktop browsers. This is also on Dribbble.

Privacy Heroes

I worked on the design and implementation with Matt Anderson along with ProtonMail, Brave, Tresorit, and Threema to create this page to accompany our ad on EasyJet. I also did the animations on the page.
