jonah Friedman
Floor Chief, Production Lead
Before landing at B.PUBLIC, Jonah spent time as a traveling haberdasher, bringing custom hats to tens of thousands of people from California to New York. He also developed a passion for plants along the way, working on and managing farms and taking on landscaping work that included water systems, nutrient management, and compost production.
That background in process and outcomes translated naturally into manufacturing. Jonah joined B.PUBLIC as a Lead Trainee in 2023 and quickly worked his way up to Floor Chief and Production Lead, developing a thorough command of every phase of the shop's workflow. Today he's responsible for quality assurance, making sure every panel is built to spec and fully compliant, as well as overseeing general production flow and project planning on the floor.
When he's not in the shop, he's usually outside skiing, kayaking, camping, or backpacking.
