Meet the Founder

Jonathan Miertschin

Founder & Creative Director

Since 2014, I’ve been developing websites professionally and I love it because it brings together many of the things I enjoy most—design, coding, and creating work that has real-world impact.
As creative director, I lead a team of freelancers, each an expert in their field, including front-end designers, back-end developers, and specialists in SEO and Google Ads.
Before making web design my full-time focus, I worked as a production designer for television commercials, including a long-standing collaboration with Media Arts Lab, Apple’s global advertising agency.
I hold a B.A. in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin and an MFA from the University of Southern California.
I live in Pasadena, California, with my wife and child, and work with businesses both locally and nationwide.

Our Clientele

We partner with small and mid-sized businesses across a range of industries. Some clients come to us for one-time projects; others stay with us for years. Many of our longest relationships have evolved from basic web design into broader digital consulting—where we advise on marketing strategy, business workflows, and custom tools to support growth.

Most recently, we’ve begun developing AI integrations to help clients analyze data, generate content, and automate tasks—making advanced capabilities accessible to everyday businesses.

Our Expertise

We work across both front-end and back-end development, which means we can design elegant, user-friendly websites and also build powerful tools behind the scenes.

Whether you’re launching a new product, improving your workflow, or need something totally custom, we can help build it. From e-commerce to booking systems to private client dashboards—we tailor our work to your needs.

Company Bio

Pasadena Web Design Studio was founded by Jonathan Miertschin, a designer and developer who has been creating websites professionally since 2014. Previously working under the name MDOC Partners, Jonathan rebranded in 2024 to focus entirely on custom websites, applications, and online tools for small and mid-sized businesses.

Originally from Houston, Texas, Jonathan holds a B.A. in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin and an MFA from the University of Southern California. He began his career in the entertainment industry—first producing unscripted television for MTV, and later working as a Production Designer for television commercials.

In 2011, he began a long-term relationship with Media Arts Lab, Apple’s global advertising agency, working on broadcast, digital, and print campaigns. Alongside this, Jonathan began self-teaching web development, drawn to the intersection of design, technology, and problem-solving.

Jonathan launched MDOC Partners in 2011, originally to support internal e-learning app development. As client needs expanded, so did his focus—balancing commercial work, accessibility-focused development, and increasingly sophisticated websites and mobile apps.

Over time, clients came to rely on him not just for websites, but for strategic guidance—building portals, dashboards, and tools that help businesses automate, communicate, and grow.

In 2024, Jonathan rebranded his web practice as Pasadena Web Design Studio to distinguish it from his ongoing e-learning work, which continues under the MDOC Partners name. The studio now brings together a team of trusted freelance collaborators—frontend designers, backend developers, and marketing specialists—assembled over more than a decade.

Today, Pasadena Web Design Studio provides full-service web design and development: from custom websites to web apps, mobile interfaces, and marketing tools built to meet the unique needs of growing businesses.
